EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and red chalk portrait, titled "Head of a Woman, called Ruth Herbert" was created in 1876 by the renowned artist Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti. The delicate yet expressive lines bring to life the enchanting features of this mysterious woman. With a size of 39.1x31.1 cm, this artwork is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Rossetti's skillful use of chiaroscuro adds depth and dimension to his subject's face, capturing her beauty with remarkable precision. The drawing exudes an air of elegance and grace, characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement that Rossetti played a significant role in. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate strands of hair cascading down her shoulders to the subtle shading around her eyes, each element contributes to creating a lifelike representation. This sketchy yet evocative portrait offers viewers a glimpse into Ruth Herbert's world - her thoughts, emotions, and perhaps even secrets hidden behind those piercing eyes. It invites us to ponder about her story and leaves us yearning for more information about this enigmatic figure. As we admire this exquisite piece from www. bridgemanart. com without any commercial intentions or implications regarding its use beyond appreciation for fine artistry, we are reminded once again why Rossetti remains one of history's most celebrated artists within English art circles.
