The sketch partly obscured by the yellow pencil left carelessly on top of it was reproduced in a newspaper recently. It is by Edward Burne-Jones and titled ‘Study Of A Female Head To The Right’ (1889). Burne-Jones was married to Georgiana MacDonald who developed a close friendship with William Morris when Burne-Jones had a passionate affair with his Greek model Maria Zambaco. Morris was married to Jane Burden who became closely attached to Dante Gabriel Rossetti who was married to Elizabeth Siddal. The Pre-Raphaelites were active in many respects.
