After a self-portrait. George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) was a popular English Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. He intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in an universal symbolic language.
