Notes | This drawing is thought to be of the character of the Prince in 'Parisina's Sleep' by the poet Lord Byron (1788-1824). The Prince is portrayed as a dramatic fiendish character in this drawing, this is reflected in the poem's lines: 'he did not wake her then But gazed upon her with a glance Which, had she roused her from her trance Had frozen her sense to sleep again.' | | Presented by subscribers, 1906. |
