The 1917 caption reads: The Curtain at the Doorway was drawn aside - from Canterbury Tales by Chaucer- Griselda. Griselda is a character in folklore who represents patience and loyalty. Her story is an allusion to the 'Book of Job' in The Bible and appears in The Canterbury Tales in 'The Clerk's Tale. The Decameron, a fourteenth-century collection of stories, tells the tale of Griselda, a peasant woman who was put through a series of tests by her rich husband, the Marquis Gualtieri di Saluzzo. This is the final panel of a series of three; it shows the couple's reunion after Griselda's ordeal.
