About the piece
This evocative 1785 painting by Joseph Wright of Derby illustrates a scene from the ballad 'William and Margaret' in Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry. The artist's signature mastery of light is on full display as the ghostly figure of Margaret emerges from the shadows to confront William, creating a powerful example of early Romantic gothic storytelling.
