The Order of Release 1746 (1853) by John Everett Millais - TopicsExpress



          

The Order of Release 1746 (1853) by John Everett Millais (1829–1896) with an interesting photograph from his daughter Marys scrapbook showing a similar scene. Maybe Millais posed the models in this setting and then photographed them to use for reference later? The female model was originally Anne Ryan ( Im not sure who the models are in this photograph) but Effie was painted as the Highland wife in the final version of the painting (as shown above). I know that Millais had trouble trying to find a location for this painting and that he had more trouble with posing the child. Its possible that it may be a tableau based on the painting as the painted door in the photograph makes it look rather like a stage set. Photograph from Mary’s scrapbook via The Morgan Library and Museum.
