She is allowed to see the outside world only through its reflection in a mirror. One day she glimpses the handsome knight Lancelot reflected and cannot resist looking at him directly. The punishment that follows results in her drifting in her boat downstream to Camelot 'singing her last song,' Description from Tate Gallery, " I would second teh above comment. the painting of Indian woman in a boat is actually a copy of John William Waterhouse’s magnificent painting of ‘The lady of Shalott’ which hangs in the Tate Gallery London.
