Original Description
In Study Of The Head Of A Model From The Perseus Series, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones captures a moment of serene contemplation, blending Pre-Raphaelite idealism with his signature dreamlike aesthetic. Created as part of his ambitious but unfinished Perseus Cycle, this graphite and chalk study reveals Burne-Jones’ meticulous attention to emotional depth and lyrical beauty—hallmarks of his work. The delicate rendering of the model’s downcast eyes and softly shadowed features evokes a sense of melancholic grace, characteristic of his later, more Symbolist-influenced phase. Though a preparatory sketch, it exemplifies his ability to infuse even studies with narrative weight, bridging Victorian romanticism and the emerging Arts and Crafts movement. Today, this piece is celebrated not only for its technical mastery but also as a window into Burne-Jones’ creative process, offering insights into how he refined his iconic mythological compositions before transferring them to larger canvases.
For interior styling, this study’s subdued monochrome palette and intimate scale (typically under 50cm) make it ideal for a quiet corner or study nook, where its poetic subtlety can be appreciated up close. Frame it in an ornate gilt or blackened oak frame to enhance its Victorian origins, and pair it with warm, textured fabrics like velvet or linen upholstery to balance its delicate lines. In a modern office, it could anchor a gallery wall featuring other Pre-Raphaelite prints or botanical sketches, with muted sage green or terracotta walls providing a harmonious backdrop. Avoid overpowering it with bright colors—let its ghostly elegance shine by keeping surrounding decor minimal and tonal, perhaps with a single antique brass desk lamp casting a soft glow to echo the drawing’s chiaroscuro effect.
