The artwork titled “Elizabeth Siddall Plaiting her Hair” is a delicate pencil sketch on paper by the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This piece is associated with the Romanticism art movement and belongs to the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork portrays a serene figure of a woman, seated calmly and plaiting her long hair. Her gaze is softly directed upward and she is adorned in loosely flowing garments. The sketch captures fine details with light and fluid pencil strokes, effectively conveying a sense of grace and tranquility. The woman’s poised hands carefully attending to her hair suggest a moment of quiet introspection. The subtlety and simplicity of this drawing exemplify the intimate and contemplative nature of a preparatory study.
