Theodor von Holst (1810 - 1844), The Wish, 1840, oil on canvas, Yale Center for British Art (source).

Groupie Fact: It is widely believed that von Holst modeled the woman in this painting after the 20-year-old Amelia Thomasina Symmes-Villard, his then fiancé and favorite model. Symmes-Villard was a sort of femme-fatale and allegedly carried around a small knife within her bodice. Fellow artist William Bell Scott once suggested that if von Holst’s alcoholism did not kill him, Symmes-Villard probably would have done it herself (source).

For more information on Theodor von Holst and Amelia Thomasina Symmes-Villard, check out “Theodor von Holst; his art and the Pre-Raphaelites” by Simon Poe (linked above).
