Jane Morris seated, three quarter length

Mrs. Morris facing right, seated in a wicker chair with her hands in her lap. The scene is DGR's garden with a two-layered backdrop framing the sitter. Farthest back and only partly visible is the decorated screen DGR used in another pose from this series; just in front of the screen is a large black cloth that serves as the immediate background to the seated figure.

Two versions of this shot are included in the album of Jane Morris Photographs put together in 1933 by Gordon Bottomly; they are the third and fourth in the sequence of twenty-eight prints in the album. The second of the two is much more closely cropped so that one loses the double-layered framing effect; in the second image only a small fragment of the decorated screen is visible at the bottom left.
