The Shadow is based upon the Greek myth of Debutades's daughter, a Corinthian girl who drew the portrait of her beloved on the wall of her bed-chamber by tracing the outline of his shadow cast by the lamp-light on the night before he departed for war. Leighton changed the setting for the drama to the battlements of a medieval castle, below which the young crusader's ships are waiting.
Two other versions of The Shadow are known; one is in the Berman Museum in Anniston, Alabama (formerly the collection of Farley and Germaine Berman, purchased in these rooms, 3 May 1972, lot 140) and the other is in Cardiff City Hall. One of the versions was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1909.
