Original Description
In Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones’s Portrait of Gertie Lewis, the viewer is immediately captivated by the dreamlike melancholy that characterizes the Pre-Raphaelite master’s later works. Painted in 1893 during Burne-Jones’s mature period, the portrait depicts young Gertrude Lewis—daughter of his close friend George Lewis—with an ethereal grace, her delicate features rendered in soft, luminous tones. The muted palette and intricate detailing in her lace collar showcase Burne-Jones's signature fusion of Renaissance-inspired precision and Symbolist mysticism. Unlike his earlier Arthurian legends, this intimate portrait reflects a tender, almost poetic realism, bridging the romanticism of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with the emerging Aesthetic Movement. Art historically, it exemplifies Burne-Jones’s shift toward introspective portraiture, offering a rare glimpse into his personal relationships while maintaining the otherworldly elegance that made him a central figure in 19th-century British art.
For a modern interior, Portrait of Gertie Lewis would elevate a study, library, or bedroom with its timeless sophistication. Its muted greens and golds pair beautifully with rich walnut furniture or velvet upholstery in deep emerald or ochre, creating a harmonious, old-world ambiance. Consider hanging it in a softly lit alcove or above a mantel to emphasize its intimate scale (the original measures 47 x 35 cm)—avoid overwhelming it in large, sparse spaces. A gilt frame would enhance its Pre-Raphaelite grandeur, while minimalist surroundings could let its delicate details stand out. For offices, it adds scholarly warmth to a traditional wood-paneled room or contrasts strikingly against contemporary monochrome decor, serving as a conversation piece that bridges history and refinement.
