Notes | This is a study for the painting 'Found', now in Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington.
Its subject concerns poverty and prostitution in Victorian London. A man from the country recognises his former sweetheart in London where she had gone to seek her fortune but she turns away in shame.
Rossetti worked on the painting intermittently between 1853 and 1881. The most significant change to the design in the final painting is the more dramatic pose of the woman as she turns her face to the wall.
