In the large lunette above the window at the opposite end of the gallery, the artist depicts an idyllic summer landscape with three seated female figures and a youth with a lamb. At the top center are lines from Wordsworth’s “Personal Talk”. On the left and right, respectively, the figures represent the joyful feelings and solemn moods of lyric poetry.
