About the piece
Created in 1882 by John Everett Millais, 'The Captive' is a masterful example of the artist's later painterly style. The work is particularly noted for its luminous rendering of textures, from the shimmering transparency of the sequined sleeves to the soft glow of the lemons on a hammered silver tray, all set against a muted, atmospheric background.
