Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
The picture is an obliquely Dantean work since the lady of the flame would be a Beatricean figure (see DGR's translation “Ladies that have Intelligence in Love” (lines 51-52)). The picture is also Dantean in its virtually allegorical treatment of the flame, which is represented as a filmy winged being.
Pictorial
The composition has much in common with the chalk drawing Silence which was executed about the same time.
