In his study for "The Bower Meadow, " created in 1872 using black chalk, Rossetti demonstrates his skillful draftsmanship.

Another striking portrait featuring Jane Morris is captured by Rossetti in an oil painting titled "Regina Cordium: Alice Wilding" from 1866.

"The Bower Meadow, " painted between 1850-1872, showcases nature at its finest while highlighting Rossetti's exceptional use of color and light. This enchanting scene invites us into a serene world where we can momentarily escape reality. Rosetti also explored mythical themes such as seen in "Boatmen and Siren" circa 1853; here he skillfully combines pen & ink to create a captivating image that transports us into the realm of Greek mythology.
