EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti's masterpiece, "Lady Lilith" created between 1867-68. The artwork, rendered in red and black chalk on paper, measures an impressive 96.5x84 cm and is part of a private collection. The subject of this enchanting portrait is Fanny Cornforth, who served as Rossetti's mistress and muse during the time he painted the original version of Lady Lilith. Interestingly, the artist later reworked the painting to depict the face of Alexa Wilding instead. In this image captured by ePeter Nahum at The Leicester Galleries in London, we see Lady Lilith seated gracefully before a mirror while combing her luxurious pre-Raphaelite hair. The three-quarter length composition allows us to admire every delicate detail of her brushing ritual. Lady Lilith exudes an air of mystery and allure as she gazes into the looking glass with utmost concentration. This drawing perfectly encapsulates Rossetti's fascination with female beauty and his ability to capture it with remarkable skill. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - where artistry meets passion and elegance intertwines with desire.
