If I didn't know better, I'd guess this was based on a photo of a theatre production.

Painting : Castle of the Maidens by Edwin Austin Abbey
In Arthurian romance, it was a castle rumored to contain young women, either as inmates or prisoners. The castle was ruled by Duke Lianour, but he was slain by seven brothers who then took over the castle. They in turn fell at the hands of three of Arthur's knights, and, afterwards, the duke's daughter took charge of it.
