The Lament (?) - Study of Two Female Heads1865 – 1866 Accession number: 1904P188 Red brown and black chalks over pencil on cream paper. Width: 295 mm Height: 345 mm InformationThe larger of these two studies bears some resemblance to the head of the left figure in the watercolour 'The Lament' (1866, William Morris Gallery, Walthanstow, London). The sheet as a whole shares the cool lyricism of the watercolour, which is a milestone in the transition of Burne-Jones's style from the overly medieval to the more timelessly classical.
