The artwork “Lady Lilith,” created by Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1867 using watercolor, gouache, and paper, exemplifies the Romanticism art movement and is categorized under religious painting. Presently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the piece reflects Rossetti’s mastery in integrating beauty and symbolism.
The artwork depicts a serene yet captivating woman, identified as Lilith, seated and engrossed in the act of grooming her long, flowing hair with a comb in one hand and a mirror in the other. The background is adorned with an abundance of blooming roses, enhancing the aura of romanticism and beauty. The woman is dressed in a luxurious white garment, draped sensuously to reveal her shoulders. The setting appears intimate and richly detailed, with a table adorned with flowers and candles, contributing to a mystical and enchanting atmosphere.
