The story of Lady Lilith (Oil Version, 1866–73)
Rossetti began the picture in 1866 for the shipowner Frederick Leyland, using Fanny Cornforth as model, and delivered it in 1869. In 1872–73 he overpainted her face with that of Alexa Wilding. After Leyland's death the painting was bought by Samuel Bancroft, whose estate gave it to the Delaware Art Museum in 1935. A watercolour replica of 1867 with Cornforth's face is in the Metropolitan Museum.

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.
