The artwork titled “Head Study of Maria Zambaco (The Wine of Circe)” was created by Edward Burne-Jones, a prominent artist associated with the Romanticism movement. This piece belongs to the genre of sketch and study and is currently housed in a private collection.
This delicate study features a profile view of Maria Zambaco, rendered with subtle shading and intricate details that bring out the softness and serenity of her features. The artist employs a range of fine textures to create depth, capturing the gentle sweep of her hair and the serene expression on her face. The work is characterized by its monochromatic tones, with a warm, reddish hue that adds an ethereal quality to the composition. The rhythmic and harmonious placement of lines and dots crafts an aura of quiet introspection, making it a contemplative and intimate portrayal.
