The Long Wait

At the window, on the shore, watching for someone

Waiting in art: paintings, prints and illustrations of people waiting and watching, at windows, on shores and quays, or for an absent lover, ship or traveller. Artists include Léon Spilliaert, with his fishermen's wives at Ostend, John William Waterhouse, John Everett Millais, Edward Burne-Jones, Gustave Caillebotte, Joaquín Sorolla, Winslow Homer, Arnold Böcklin, Raja Ravi Varma, Uemura Shōen, Ogata Gekkō, Edvard Munch and Karl Wiener. The works include a Pahari miniature of the heroine waiting for her lover, Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist paintings, Japanese woodblock prints and 19th-century American genre painting. Typical subjects are women at windows, figures looking out to sea and lovers apart.

The contemplative scenes suit bedrooms, reading corners and coastal homes. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
