Veronica Veronese

Rossetti used model Alexa Wilding. Rossetti described this painting in a letter to F. R. Leland, whom the painting was for: “The girl is in a sort of passionate reverie, and is drawing her hand listlessly along the strings of a violin which hangs against the wall, while she holds the bow with the other hands, as if arrested by the thought of the moment, when she was about to play. In color, I shall make the picture a study of varied greens.” - There is a border around the image. Image size is correct. Many sizes available.
