"Head-Study of Maria Zambaco, probably for 'The Wine of Circe' by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, is a notable work within the oeuvre of the Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones. This head-study is believed to be a preparatory work for the larger painting 'The Wine of Circe,' which depicts the mythological enchantress Circe from Homer's epic, 'The Odyssey.' Maria Zambaco, a prominent figure in Burne-Jones's life and a frequent model for his works, is the subject of this study. Zambaco, born Marie Terpsithea Cassavetti, was a Greek beauty and artist in her own right, who became romantically involved with Burne-Jones during the 1860s. Their tumultuous relationship significantly influenced his artistic output during this period.

The head-study captures Zambaco's striking features with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Burne-Jones's fascination with her classical beauty and enigmatic presence. The artist's technique in this study showcases his skill in rendering delicate facial expressions and intricate hair textures, which are characteristic of his broader body of work. The use of soft, flowing lines and a subdued color palette imbues the study with a sense of ethereal grace and otherworldliness, aligning with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's ideals of beauty and romanticism.

Burne-Jones's 'The Wine of Circe' itself is a testament to his ability to blend mythological themes with personal emotion, and the head-study of Zambaco serves as a poignant reminder of the personal muse behind the myth. This preparatory work not only highlights Burne-Jones's artistic process but also offers insight into the complex dynamics between artist and muse during the Victorian era. The head-study remains an important piece for understanding the depth of Burne-Jones's artistic vision and the influence of his personal relationships on his work."
