EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruth Herbert asleep, 1858" by Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti takes us back to the enchanting world of the 19th century. The image, created with graphite on paper, measures 21x26.4 cm and is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. In this intimate portrayal, we see Ruth Herbert peacefully slumbering in a chair. The worn-out furniture adds an air of authenticity to the scene, while her delicate features exude a timeless beauty. Rossetti's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his preparatory sketch. The artist masterfully captures Ruth's weariness as she succumbs to sleepiness. Her closed eyes and relaxed posture convey a sense of tranquility that resonates with viewers across generations. This portrait not only reflects the fashion trends prevalent during the era but also showcases Rossetti's affiliation with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from the late nineteenth century, we are transported into a world where beauty intertwines with fatigue and dreams merge with reality. It serves as a testament to Rossetti's artistic prowess and his ability to capture human emotions through his brushstrokes. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate this extraordinary work without commercial intentions or restrictions imposed by any company – it simply invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless allure.
