Too Late is a 1858 oil by William Lindsay Windus, a British Romanticism work, depicting Visitation, held at National Gallery.
In the painting, a woman in a purple dress stands with her back to the viewer, her head turned to the side as she kisses another woman in a white dress. The two women are surrounded by lush greenery and a field in the background. A man in a tan suit stands to the right, looking down at a young girl in a green dress. The scene appears to be a moment of intimacy and connection between the two women, while the man and girl look on. The use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of warmth and tenderness. This painting is reminiscent of the work of William Lindsay Windus, an artist known for his delicate and expressive portraits.
William Lindsay Windus (1822–1907) was an English painter, part of a group of Liverpool painters who were influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite style.
