Original Description
Evelyn Pickering De Morgan's Portrait of Jane Morris (Study for The Hourglass) is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite-inspired work that captures the ethereal beauty and melancholic grace of its subject. The painting depicts Jane Morris, the famed muse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, in a contemplative pose, her flowing medieval-style gown and loose hair exuding both elegance and introspection. Painted in 1878, this study later informed De Morgan's allegorical work The Hourglass, reflecting her fascination with symbolism and the passage of time. De Morgan’s meticulous brushwork and rich, jewel-toned palette showcase her mastery of the Aesthetic Movement, blending classical precision with otherworldly luminosity. As one of the few prominent female artists of the Victorian era, De Morgan challenged gender norms, and this portrait—with its blend of realism and dreamlike atmosphere—holds a significant place in 19th-century British art for its emotional depth and technical brilliance.
For a sophisticated yet harmonious display, consider hanging this artwork in a study, library, or office space where its introspective mood can inspire quiet reflection. Ideally, place it against a muted, textured wall—such as deep green or burgundy—to enhance its warm tones while allowing the figure’s delicate features to stand out. A carved wooden frame with subtle gilt accents would complement its Pre-Raphaelite origins. Given its intimate scale (approximately 18 x 24 inches), it pairs well with enclosed spaces like bookshelves or above a escritoire, avoiding overcrowding. To extend its chromatic harmony, incorporate velvet upholstery or Persian rugs in ruby or ochre hues. For lighting, opt for a soft, directional lamp to mimic the painting’s glow, avoiding harsh modern fixtures that could clash with its antique sensibility. A single statement piece, it thrives in a curated setting with minimal distractions.
