This is La Ghirlandata and Veronica Veronese Alexa Wilding (1847-1884) the model and Rossetti painter. She was his model and muse and there are more paintings of her than Elizabeth Siddall, Jane Morris or Fanny Cornforth. I didn’t know that!

For , some works by Elizabeth Siddal.
She responded to uncanny themes, often from the Border Ballads in her pictures of ‘Clerk Saunders’ & ‘The Rowing Boat’
