Original Description
Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Portrait of Elizabeth Siddal II (1854-1865) is an ethereal tribute to the Pre-Raphaelite muse, capturing Siddal’s haunting beauty with luminous intensity. Rendered in delicate watercolor and gouache, the painting embodies the Romantic melancholy of the Brotherhood—her auburn hair cascading like wildfire against a muted background, while her downcast gaze suggests introspection or whispered sorrow. Siddal, Rossetti’s wife and frequent model, epitomizes the Pre-Raphaelite ideal: elongated neck, porcelain skin, and an almost medieval grace. This work is pivotal in art history for its fusion of symbolic longing and meticulous naturalism, bridging Renaissance influences with Victorian emotional depth. The ghostly pallor and intricate detailing (note the embroidery-like brushwork on her collar) reflect Rossetti’s obsession with poetic femininity, making it a cornerstone of 19th-century British art.
For a modern space, this portrait commands attention in a study or parlor-style living room. Its intimate 13.5 x 12.5-inch scale suits a curated wall grouping—pair it with gilt-framed botanical sketches or Arts & Crafts textiles to echo its handmade luminosity. The warm russets in Siddal’s hair harmonize with walnut wood furniture or terracotta accents, while the dreamy blues and creams in the background soften minimalist or maximalist interiors alike. Hang it at eye level near a reading nook with velvet upholstery to amplify its tactile romance, or in a dimly lit office corridor to evoke Gothic drama. Avoid stark white walls; opt for ochre or sage green to deepen its jewel-toned resonance. A single spotlight (2700K warmth) will intensify the watery glow of the medium, transforming any room into a Pre-Raphaelite reverie.
