The artwork, titled “My Lady Greensleeves” by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was created between circa 1860 to 1863, and is executed in pen. It forms part of the Romanticism art movement and is categorized under the genre of sketch and study. Presently, this piece is held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a delicate pen sketch of a young woman with a serene expression and flowing hair, intimately engaged with what appears to be a garment or piece of fabric. The intricate details in the lines capture the softness and subtlety of her features and the texture of the material she touches. Careful attention is given to the folds and contours in the fabric, adding depth and dimension to the otherwise minimalist composition. The overall effect is one of quiet introspection, emblematic of Rossetti’s Romantic sensibilities.
