Notes | Emma looks quite different here to in Rossetti's wedding gift portrait (1904P447). Emma's appearance in the later drawing is in accordance with Rossetti's increasing move towards a more stylised image of femininity which came to preoccupy him in the 1860s and '70s, though there is the naturalistic detail of a small double chin in shadow. Her face appears over-exposed in the lamp light. | | Purchased from Charles Fairfax Murray and presented by Subscribers, 1903. |
