EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mrs. Morris and the Wombat, 1869" transports us back to a whimsical moment in history. Created by the talented artist Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti, this pen and ink masterpiece showcases his love for both art and exotic animals. In this delightful portrait, we see Jane Morris, a renowned model and muse of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Standing tall with an air of elegance, she is accompanied by a rather unexpected companion - a wombat! Rossetti's fondness for these unique creatures is evident as he playfully incorporates them into his artwork. The cartoon-like quality adds an element of humor to the scene, making it impossible not to smile at Mrs. Morris' interaction with her marsupial friend. The wild animal seems perfectly content in her presence, almost as if they share a special connection. As we admire this piece further, we notice that Mrs. Morris wears a halo above her head - perhaps symbolizing her ethereal beauty or divine influence on those around her. Her role as a leading figure within the artistic community becomes even more apparent through this subtle detail. This extraordinary print captures not only Rossetti's artistic talent but also his affection for nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to inspiration - be it from human muses or furry friends like wombats.
