The story of Lady Lilith (Watercolour Version, 1867)

This is Rossetti's 1867 watercolour replica of his oil painting Lady Lilith (now in the Delaware Art Museum), the oil having been commissioned by Frederick Richards Leyland. The watercolour keeps the face of Fanny Cornforth, the original model, while in 1872-73 Rossetti repainted the face in the oil to show Alexa Wilding. The Met acquired the watercolour in 1908 (Rogers Fund).

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, generally known as Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was an English poet, illustrator, painter, translator, and member of the Rossetti family. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Rossetti inspired many contemporary artists and writers, such as Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, and Edward Burne-Jones in particular. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.
