Once, long centuries ago, there lived a very brave knight whose name was Sir Galahad. He belonged to King Arthur's Round Table. In the Court of Camelot, King Arthur's Castle, there was a chair which threatened death to any knight who sat upon it, but Sir Galahad, who was the purest, bravest knight in  the world. Because he was so pure he could see the Holy Grail for which all the knights were searching. This was the cup from which Our Lord drank at the Last Supper. Of all the knights Sir Galahad was the best.

In our room we have a very beautiful picture of Sr Galahad. In the foreground we see this knight standing beside his snow white horse. His steed's head is bending down and it looks as though he was eating grass. Sir Galahad is dressed in his white armor, while his helmet is lying on his steed's saddle. He looks weary and seems to be resting. They are in a clearing in the forest. In the background there are dense fields of woodland and brush. We see fleecy clouds in the sky. These look just like sheep in the pasture.

The artist who painted this picture is George Frederic Watts. He was very fond of painting pictures that would make the people who saw them wish to be find and pure like the characters in his pictures. This man painted many portraits of famous people. He won prizes and went to Italy to study art. Watts painted a portrait of Lory Tennyson, a noted poet, who wrote a very beautiful poem about Sir Galahad. There are tow lines of if.
