Page 160, “D.G Rossetti,” by H.C. Marillier, 1899. “La Donna della Finestra”

“Two studies were made in 1870. This study resembles the picture more exactly. On a scroll below the figure it has the legend, “Color d'Amore e di Pieta sembiante.” p. 197. “It resembles the picture accurately in regard to the attitude of the figure and position of the hands, and may therefore be regarded as the real study for it.”

“The Lady of Pity.”
