Information
In this study, executed during the same period as 'The Blue Bower', Rossetti shows his continuing interest in models who are physically strong, but at the same time maintain a degree of aloofness and mysticism. The model for this drawing is thought to be Ruth Herbert.
- Bequeathed by James Richardson Holliday, 1927.
