Round 18: Tossup 5

Note to players: your answer to this question should include both an artist and the author whose works they depicted, in a form such as “H. R. Giger’s depictions of the works of Thomas Pynchon.” In one of these depictions, a bearded man gives a shocked expression as a woman leans over his right arm and attendants place a red footstool and green cloak. Frederic George Stephens was used as a model for one of these depictions in which a ring of bats and a female spirit all appear in monochrome lime green as the latter whispers in the ear of a man in a red tunic. In another of these depictions, (-5[1])Kate Dolan clutches a scroll and wears all-red robes originally worn by Ellen Terry. (-5[2])One of these depictions combines pansies, nettles, and (-5[1])daisies (10[3])painted (10[1]-5[1])from life along the (10[1]-5[1])Hogsmill (10[2])River (10[2])in Surrey (10[1])with a model (10[2])who (10[1])posed in a heated (10[1]-5[1])bathtub (10[1])over five months, (10[2])but still nearly died of hypothermia. For 10 points, what literary depictions by a Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood founder include a painting of Elizabeth Siddal as a drowning Ophelia? ■END■ (10[7])
