Description: | Marie Spartali Stillman was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite circle of artists. The strong features, thick auburn hair and rounded neck of the young woman in this picture represent the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of female beauty. The red-gold of her hair is set off by the greens and blues of her dress and the landscape. The blossom shows it is springtime. The picture may have been painted when Marie Spartali Stillman was living in Italy in 1880, as the woman's dress is inspired by Italian Renaissance costume. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists animals watercolours art natural world women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
