Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind is an 1892 oil painting by the British artist John Everett Millais. A landscape blended with genre painting it shows a snow-covered scene in which a woman sits with her child, apparently abandoned by her lover.[1] The title is drawn from a passage in William Shakespeare's As You Like It.[2]
The work was displayed at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1892. The painting is now in the collection of the Auckland Art Gallery in New Zealand. [3]
