This is the story of the noble knight Lancelot and his queen Guinevere, wife of the legendary King Arthur. The table on which they stand is round – in reference to the round table at Camelot – and it is covered in a cloth depicting lions and crowns. These symbols refer to the King, who is being betrayed by the love affair between his favourite knight and his wife. The rose in the wallpaper is the floral heraldic symbol of England. Then title of the painting is drawn from the poem Guinevere by Alfred Lord Tennyson, where the Queen farewells the knight as she exiles herself to a nunnery..
