Love's Shadow is an 1867 painting by Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederick Sandys. It was modeled by actress Mary Emma Jones, Sandys' common-law wife. The figure is richly adorned and biting the blooms from some blue violets, which are a symbol of love and devotion in Victorian floriography.
The painting has been used as cover art in Chloe Michelle Howarth's 2025 novel Heap Earth Upon It as well as in Kirsten King's 2026 novel A Good Person.
