1858. William Lindsay Windus (age 35). "Too Late". The picture was bought by Windus’ patron, a tobacco merchant named John Miller and is now in the possession of the Tate.

Ruskin condemned it ‘as the product of sickness, temper, and dimmed sight,’ a criticism which so pained Windus that he never sent to the Academy again.
