The artwork titled “Fair Rosamund” is an oil painting created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1861. It is a portrait measuring 52 x 42 cm and is part of the Romanticism art movement.
The artwork depicts a young woman with fair skin and flowing auburn hair, adorned with a red flower. She gazes forward with a calm and somewhat introspective expression. Around her neck are intricately designed gold necklaces and a string of red beads, adding to the richness of her appearance. The background consists of densely patterned stained glass and foliage, contributing to the elaborate and romantic atmosphere of the painting. The artist’s initials and the year of creation, “DGR 1861,” are inscribed in the bottom right corner, further authenticating this exquisite piece.
