The Order of Release, 1746 is a painting by John Everett Millais exhibited in 1853. It is notable for marking the beginnings of Millais's move away from the highly detailed Pre-Raphaelitism of his early years. Effie Gray, who later left her husband for the artist, modelled for the principal figure. The painting depicts the wife of a rebel Scottish soldier, who has been imprisoned after the Jacobite rising of 1745, arriving with an order securing his release. She holds her child, showing the order to a guard, while her husband embraces her.
This is an original Victorian print and not a modern repro. The colours are very deep and quite stunning. Any light parts on the photo are caused by reflections from the protective Cellophane cover. This item was previously framed and is mounted on to backing board and because of that, the item will be sent flat-packed.
