Can you spot what isn’t different?
Rossetti clearly loved this spiral hair ornament and gave it different models to wear. Apparently it was last seen when borrowed by blackmailer Charles Howell’s wife who never returned it….

T’amo come la pianta che non fiorisce e reca
Dentro di sé nascosta la luce di quei fiori;
grazie al tuo amore vive oscuro nel mio corpo
il concentrato amore che ascese dalla terra

Aloof, aloof, we stand aloof, so stand
Thou too aloof, bound with the flawless band
Of inner solitude;

Some masculine input for this week's Although far more associated with female portraiture, Rossetti's studies of men are both sensitive & impressive: head of farmer in 'Found' (1869), Ford Madox Brown (1867), male head study 1850s (Mus. of Fine Arts, Budapest).

Home after my talk, and back to Jane Morris, born 1839.
A fine model & needlewoman, Jane embodied Guenevere, Pandora & Venus for D G Rossetti.
But she also had a 'delicious chuckling laugh'.
Her gardens at Kelmscott Manor were a haven for women artists in her later years.
