PAG1-rossetti-monnarosa-jpg

This black and white reproduction of Rossetti’s painting is of a woman, portrayed by Mrs. F. R. Leyland, arranging roses at home. The woman is in three-quarter profile and wears an elaborate floral dress with puffed sleeves. Her hair is tied in a braid behind her head. She arranges a large bouquet of flowers in a Japanese-inspired ceramic vase (blue and white export porcelain). The vase rests in a terra cotta pot on a bamboo plant stand. It sits in the corner of a room. The dark walls (green in the original oil painting) fill the background with two bags hanging behind the woman’s head to the left of the image. The larger bag features a peacock pattern that is still visible in this reproduction. The smaller blue bag above it blends into the background.
