Title: 1906P576 Christina Rossetti's Maude Clare - Figure and Head Studies
Description: 1906P576 [Verso - Reverse]
Christina Rossetti's Maude Clare - Figure and Head Studies, 1859
Artist: John Everett Millais
These sketches are preparation for a design Millais made to accompany Christina Rossetti's poem 'Maude Clare'.
The wood-engraving, which is represented in the British Museum, was executed by Joseph Swain and appeared in 'Once a Week' on 5th November, 1859. The relevant lines of the poem are as follows:
Take my share of a fickle heart,
Mine of a paltry love:
Take it, or leave it, as you will,
I wash my hands thereof.
