Proserpine (second version)

It is likely that this, the second version of Proserpine , was one of the three early versions that "were rejected after being brought very forward," as DGR described them in a letter to Ford Madox Brown (Fredeman, Correspondence, 74.4). None have survived intact, although the third version was cut down and transformed into Blanzifiore .
