A Naiad 水仙女
Painting Date: 1893
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: Unknown
Location: Private Collection

About the painting: Also known as 'Hylas with a Nymph'.

“水之仙女剛剛上岸，她從樹干的縫隙中窺看裹著豹皮的熟睡的青年。畫面中幾乎無處不在的紅色和綠色的對比（俗稱紅配綠）被湖水反射出的藍色減弱，并呈現出相當的協調”
(引自本圖1893年展覽時Henry Blackburn 所寫的注釋)

The Lady of Shalott 夏洛特女子
Painting Date: 1894
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 142 x 86 cm
Location: City Art Gallery, Leeds, England

根據丁尼生的The Lady of Shalott：
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro' the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried

St Cecilia 圣賽西莉婭
Painting Date: 1895
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 46 x 77 in
Location: Private Collection
圣賽西莉婭生活在約公元前230年，她因發誓終身信仰基督教并保持貞節而聞名。圣賽西莉婭節是11月22日。
本圖1895年展出時附有丁尼生的The Palace of Art中的詩句

'In a clear walled city on the sea.
Near gilded organ pipes - slept St. Cecily'.

沃特豪斯嘗試用本圖傳達某種中世紀的感覺，而他也的確做到了。富有裝飾性的畫面，還有一點宗教畫的味道。幾乎沒有現實主義和日常生活的痕跡。

Hylas and the Nymphs 海拉斯與水仙女
Artist: John William Waterhouse
Painting Date: 1896
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 38 x 64 in
Location: Manchester City Art Galleries, Manchester, England
赫庫勒斯乘船到達塞歐斯島，赫庫勒斯的伙伴海拉斯上岸尋找水源，海拉斯找到了泉水，但水仙女們愛上年輕英俊的海拉斯，把他帶入她們的世界。
碧色的湖面，美麗的水仙女，看似零亂實則精心安排的植物，使詩意在畫面上緩緩流動。
