Introduction
This youthful image of Elizabeth Siddal is probably the first of many drawn by DGR (but see also the early finished drawing A Parable of Love). By 1851 she sat for him exclusively, and was a prominent figure in his art up to and after her death in 1862 (Surtees, A Catalogue Raisonné, 189).
