Bancroft Memorial Found DGR 1854 R.A., 1883 (no.287); R.A., 1973 (no.69); Yale 1976 (no.34) Francis MacCracken 1853 James Leathart November 13, 1859 William Graham 1869 £800 MacCracken relinquished his commission of the painting. Leathart commissioned the work for 350 guineas, but DGR wrote, only a short while after the commission, that the patron “funks the calf picture for the usual reason” ( Fredeman, <hi rend="i">Correspondence</hi> , 59.40.). By 1867 DGR was ready to repay Leathart his advancement because the painting had not moved forward. Graham, the last patron, finally received the painting in an unfinished state upon DGR's death.

WMR WMR sat for the figure of the farmer in the early stages. Ford Madox Brown Madox Brown also sat for the farmer. unknown The facial features of the farmer were drawn from a model whose identity is unknown. 1882 Fairfax Murray suggests that Burne-Jones and Dunn added finishing touches to the painting following DGR's death. Murray beleives that Burne-Jones added the wall (which DGR had intended as a picket fence) while Dunn washed in the sky. Marillier believes that Burne-Jones did the sky and that Dunn might have painted the bridge, the riverbank, and the cowslip in the farmer's hat. <artist/> <bibl/> <note/> </citnpictorial> <citnmythic> <name/> <culture/> <bibl/> <note/> </citnmythic> <citnhistorical> <event/> <place/> <date/> <bibl/> <note/> </citnhistorical> <citnautobiographical> <name/> <place/> <date/> <bibl/> <note/> </citnautobiographical> <citnscenic> <place/> <date/> <bibl/> <note/> </citnscenic> </listcitn> </source> <commentaries> <head>Commentary</head> <section type="intro"> <head>Introduction</head> <p>Commentary is not yet available for this image.</p> </section> <section type="prodhist"> <head>Production History</head> <p/> </section> <section type="recepthist"> <head>Reception</head> <p/> </section> <section type="icon"> <head>Iconograpic</head> <p/> </section> <section type="pictorial"> <head>Pictorial</head> <p/> </section> <section type="historical"> <head>Historical</head> <p/> </section> <section type="literary"> <head>Literary</head> <p/> </section> <section type="autobio"> <head>Autobiographical</head> <p/> </section> <section type="biblio"> <head>Bibliographic</head> <p> <bibl> <author>Angeli</author>, <xref doc="a.ac-angeli.nd497.r8.a774.rad" from="57" workcode="s64"> <hi rend="i">DGR con 107 illustrazioni</hi> </xref>, <pages>57</pages>.</bibl> <bibl> <author>Benedetti</author>, <xref doc="a." link="dead" from="183" to="184" workcode="7-1881.s64"> <title level="bk"> <hi rend="i">Dante Gabriel Rossetti</hi> , 183-184.
