Brotherhood">Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood</a>, which depicts a woman rising from her position in a man's lap and gazing transfixed out the room's window. </p><p>The painting is in the collection of the

and a host of symbols within the painting make it clear that this is a mistress and her lover. The woman's clasped hands provide a focal point and the position of her left hand emphasizes the absence of a wedding ring, although rings are worn on every other finger. Around the room are dotted reminders of her "kept" status and her wasted life: the cat beneath the table toying with a bird; the clock concealed under glass; a tapestry that hangs unfinished on the piano; the threads which lie unravelled on the floor; the print of <a href="/wiki/Frank_Stone_(painter)" title="Frank Stone (painter)">Frank Stone</a>'s <i>Cross Purposes</i> on the wall; <a href="/wiki/Edward_Lear" title="Edward Lear">Edward Lear</a>'s musical arrangement of <a href="/wiki/Alfred,_Lord_Tennyson" title="Alfred, Lord Tennyson">Alfred, Lord Tennyson</a>'s 1847 poem "<a href="/wiki/Tears,_Idle_Tears" title="Tears, Idle Tears">Tears, Idle Tears</a>" which lies discarded on the floor, and the music on the piano, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Moore" title="Thomas Moore">Thomas Moore</a>'s "Oft in the Stilly Night", the words of which speak of missed opportunities and sad memories of a happier past. The discarded glove and top hat thrown on the tabletop suggest a hurried assignation. </p><p>The room is too cluttered and gaudy to be in a Victorian family home; the bright colours, unscuffed carpet, and pristine, highly polished furniture speak of a room recently furnished for a mistress. Art historian <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Prettejohn" title="Elizabeth Prettejohn">Elizabeth Prettejohn</a> notes that although the interior is now viewed as "Victorian" it still exudes the "'nouveau-riche' vulgarity" that would have made the setting distasteful to contemporary viewers.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The painting's frame is decorated with further symbols: bells (for warning), marigolds (for sorrow), and a star above the girl's head (a sign of spiritual revelation). It also bears a verse from the <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Proverbs" title="Book of Proverbs">Book of Proverbs</a> (25:20): "As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The mirror on the rear wall provides a tantalizing glimpse out of the scene. The window — opening out onto a spring garden, in direct contrast to the images of entrapment within the room — is flooded with sunlight. The woman's face does not display a look of shock that she has been surprised with her lover; whatever attracts her is outside of both the room and her relationship. The <i><a href="/wiki/Athenaeum_(British_magazine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Athenaeum (British magazine)">Athenæum</a></i> commented in 1854: </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>The author of "The Bridge of Sighs" could not have conceived a more painful-looking face. The details of the picture, the reflection of the spring trees in the mirror, the piano, the bronze under the lamp, are wonderfully true, but the dull indigoes and reds of the picture make it melancholy and appropriate, and not pleasing in tone.

Hunt intended this image to be <i>The Light of the World'</i>s "material counterpart in a picture representing in actual life the manner in which the appeal of the spirit of heavenly love calls a soul to abandon a lower life."<sup id="cite_ref-H429_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-H429-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In <i>Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood</i> Hunt wrote that Peggotty's search for Emily in <i><a href="/wiki/David_Copperfield" title="David Copperfield">David Copperfield</a></i> had given him the idea for the composition and he began to visit "different haunts of <a href="/wiki/Fallen_woman" title="Fallen woman">fallen girls</a>" looking for a suitable setting. He did not plan to recreate any particular scene from <i>David Copperfield</i>, and initially wanted to capture something more general: "the loving seeker of the fallen girl coming upon the object of his search".<sup id="cite_ref-H429_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-H429-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> But he reconsidered, deciding that such a meeting would engender different emotions in the girl than the repentance he wanted to show. He eventually settled on the idea that the girl's companion could be singing a song that suddenly reminded her of her former life and thereby act as the unknowing catalyst for her epiphany.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The model for the woman was <a href="/wiki/Annie_Miller" title="Annie Miller">Annie Miller</a>, who sat for many of the Pre-Raphaelites and to whom Hunt was engaged until 1859.

The painting was commissioned by <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Fairbairn" title="Thomas Fairbairn">Thomas Fairbairn</a>, a Manchester industrialist and patron of the Pre-Raphaelites, after Egg discussed Hunt's ideas and possibly showed him some of the initial sketches.<sup id="cite_ref-TIC_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TIC-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fairbairn paid Hunt 350 guineas. The painting was exhibited at the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Academy" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Academy">Royal Academy</a> in 1854, along with <i>The Light of the World</i>. Fairbairn found himself unable to bear looking at the woman's expression day-to-day, so persuaded Hunt to soften it. Hunt started work but fell ill and allowed the painting to be returned to Fairbairn for display at the Birmingham Society of Artists exhibition in 1856 before he was completely happy with the result.

Ruskin's reading of the painting was also to a moral end.

To Ruskin, the exquisite detail of the painting only called attention to the inevitable ruin of the couple: "The very hem of the poor girl's dress, at which the painter has laboured so closely, thread by thread, has story in it, if we think how soon its pure whiteness may be soiled with dust and rain, her outcast feet failing in the street".<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The idea of a visual <a href="/wiki/Morality_tale" class="mw-redirect" title="Morality tale">morality tale</a>, based on a single moment, influenced <a href="/wiki/Augustus_Egg" class="mw-redirect" title="Augustus Egg">Augustus Egg</a>'s 1858 series of three paintings, <i><a href="/wiki/Past_and_Present_(paintings)" title="Past and Present (paintings)">Past and Present</a></i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_literature">In literature</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Awakening_Conscience&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: In literature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In <a href="/wiki/Evelyn_Waugh" title="Evelyn Waugh">Evelyn Waugh</a>'s 1945 novel <i><a href="/wiki/Brideshead_Revisited" title="Brideshead Revisited">Brideshead Revisited</a></i> an allusion to the painting reflects the unraveling of the affair between Julia Flyte and artist Charles Ryder. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Provenance">Provenance</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Awakening_Conscience&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Provenance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The painting was inherited by Fairbairn's son, Sir Arthur Henderson Fairbairn, 3rd Baronet.
