Notes

This is a study of an early favourite model of Burne-Jones in the mid-1860s, Augusta Jones. Because it is in left profile, it is perhaps an early study of her made in preparation for 'Astrologia', a gouache of 1865 now in a private collection. She was also the model for Princess Sabra in the first oil painting of the St George Series, 'The Princess in the Garden' (1866, Musee d'Orsay, Paris).

Purchased and presented by subscribers, 1903.
