Study of Fanny Cornforth, asleep on a chaise-longue
Dante Gabriel Rossetti1862
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
In this powerful drawing Fanny Cornforth (1835 – 1906), one of Dante Gabriel Rosetti’s favorite models and longtime companion, lays on a chaise-longue, her head cradled by her hand and floral cushions. Rosetti likely captured this unguarded moment at his home, using graphite to casually render her serene face and flowing hair.
