Exhibition History

From Dürer to Van Gogh

June 5 - October 26, 2008

This drawing comes from the great collection of Algernon Charles Swinburne, an English poet and collector who knew many of the Pre-Raphaelites and was himself drawn by Rossetti. The subject, Lady Sophia Dalrymple, was one of the numerous young women who served as muse for artists in the Pre-Raphaelite group. Using a combination of ink and chalks, Rossetti focused on the linear structure of Lady Dalrymple’s face, emphasizing her strong chin and large eyes.
