EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning study of Fanny Cornforth, an English maidservant turned artists' muse. Created in 1863 by the talented Rossetti, Dante Gabriel Charles, this pencil on paper artwork measures 36.2x26.1 cm and is held in a private collection. In the image, Fanny Cornforth gazes away from the viewer with a meditative expression on her face. Her half-length portrait captures her beauty and elegance as she sits braiding her long hair with utmost concentration. The intricate plaiting of her hair adds to the overall charm of the composition. The pre-Raphaelite influence is evident in this piece, with its attention to detail and focus on capturing natural beauty. Fanny's wistful gaze suggests that she may be lost in thought or daydreaming about something beyond our reach. This photograph not only celebrates Fanny Cornforth's role as an artist's model but also highlights her own unique allure and charisma. It serves as a testament to the power of art to immortalize individuals who might otherwise have been forgotten by history. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this timeless moment through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both Rossetti's artistic talent and Fanny Cornforth's captivating presence. This print is a true treasure for any lover of fine art seeking to add depth and beauty to their collection.
