Dante Gabriel Rossetti drew his muse and future wife Elizabeth Siddal in this portrait. Her distinctive features and red hair became iconic in Pre-Raphaelite art. Siddal modeled for many Brotherhood paintings.
Their relationship was intense and troubled. She died young, and Rossetti remained haunted by her memory. This work hangs at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
