Rossetti made this pencil sketch of his wife, the artist Elizabeth Siddal, in preparation for his piece depicting a passage in Tibullus (Elegies, I, 3, 82-92). Tibullus instructs Delia to wait for him, ‘all long and loose thy hair’. He draws Siddal as Delia with eyes closed, and a piece of her hair in her mouth. Hair plays a large part in Rossetti’s paintings exploring sensuality, and the graphite marks capture the texture of Siddal’s slightly wavy hair.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 – 1882) was an English painter, poet, illustrator and translator. In 1848 he founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood alongside Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais. Influenced by literature and medieval revivalism, he would often compose poetry to accompany his paintings, and William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Rossetti found each other a source of mutual inspiration. He was married to fellow artist Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, who modelled for many of his paintings. Several his works form part of Tate’s collection, including many of his most celebrated paintings.
