1904P233 [Recto - Front] Two Lovers, 1850 Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti From Preraphaelites.org: The female depicted in this work resembles Elizabeth Siddal. Handwritten inscription on verso: Purchased for Mr Butler at the sale of the artist's drawings Wm Rossetti thought this a design for "Hamlet & Ophelia" or for The Rose Garden. It seems to me equally possible ['likely' crossed out] that it represents "Launcelot & Guenevere", The Rose Garden I should exclude altogether - Charles Fairfax Murray DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI ONE OF TWO DESIGNS SOLD AT CHRISTIE'S MAY 12 1883 CATALOGUE No 61 The 2nd design a very rude sketch of little value having no connection it seems to me with the design for "Found" moreover it was certainly taken from one of his late notebooks in which he noted down various plans for pictures & anything that occurred to him at the moment. |
