Kate Bunce, The Keepsake, tempera on canvas, 1898-1901. This was chosen as "Picture of the Year" by the Pall Mall Gazette in 1901. It illustrates Rossetti's poem "The Staff and Scrip," a passage after the death of the pilgrim: "Then stepped a damsel to her side/ And spoke and needs must weep:/ For his sake, lady, if he died/ He prayed of thee to keep/ This staff and scrip." Another painting by Bunce, The Minstrel, is on the 4777 home page.
