EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the head of Ferdinand, a character from John Everett Millais' famous painting "Ferdinand Lured by Ariel". Created in 1849, this graphite on paper artwork measures 17.3x12.9 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, meticulously captured every detail of Ferdinand's face in this preliminary sketch. The intricate lines and shading bring forth an incredible level of realism, showcasing Millais' exceptional talent as an artist. The subject matter itself is drawn from William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" specifically Act I, Scene ii. Ferdinand can be seen here with his distinct beard, giving him a regal and mature appearance. It is worth noting that F. G. Stephens served as the model for this particular study. This image offers viewers a glimpse into Millais' artistic process and serves as a testament to his dedication to capturing human emotion through his work. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to Victorian England where artistry flourished amidst literary inspiration.
