I've bought a print of a painting I really like but don't know anything about it's origins. It looks like it's from the 1800s. It depicts a woman standing in the middle of a weaving apparatus who is tangled in some of the threads being woven. She's bare foot, looking downwards, and her hands are touching the threads which she is caught in / or weaving with. She has very long hair which is flying up above her head. She's standing in front of a mirror in which you can see an outside scene with a river, field, and a knight on a horse waving a sword. The circular object being woven depicts what looks like a last supper scene, with what looks like a holy Grail in it. It is a very intricate painting with many small detailed elements (including haloed figures above her, and an Adam-like figure throwing an apple), but the above should be enough to identify it.
Any help is much appreciated!

Definitely the Lady of Shallott. I think you are describing this painting by Holman Hunt and Edward Roberts Hughes:
