Historical genre painter Edmund Leighton produced Medieval and other period scenes for a middle-class audience. This captivating work by the artist is an imaginative take on the myth of Debutantes, who traced her lover’s shadow on the parapet of a castle wall. This painting is portrayed in England of the Middle Ages instead of the original ancient Greece motif.
