## Commentary

In the 1840s Brocky painted mainly portraits of women and children and scenes from the novels of Walter Scott. This painting depicts a scene from Walter Scott&#39;s novel, The Bride of Lammermoor. The libretto of Gaetano Donizetti&#39;s well-known opera was based on this novel. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 4 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/19\_cent/donizetti\_lammermoor\_sextet.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gaetano Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor, Act II, Sextet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
