Portrait of Jane Morris (1873). Dante Gabriel Rossetti (British, 1828-1882). Pen and brown ink.With her voluptuous lips, penetrating grey eyes, strong bone structure and crown of rippling dark hair, Jane Morris became the embodiment of Pre-Raphaelite beauty whose striking features shine out from many of Rossetti’s more important works of art. This poignant drawing was executed almost certainly at Kelmscott Manor, a grand Thames-side Cotswold residence of which Morris and Rossetti became joint tenants in June 1871. -- source link
