Jane Morris seated, half length [3]

Mrs. Morris is seated in a chair, facing right, with her back angled toward the camera. She turns toward the camera over her right shoulder, but is looking vaguely away. It is closely related to two other pictures in the Jane Morris series of photographs: the picture is virtually the mirror image of “Jane Morris seated, half length [3]” , where Mrs. Morris faces left in much the same pose (the latter is also fairly closely cropped); and to “Jane Morris seated, half length [1]” —a much less closely cropped shot, this one with Mrs. Morris also facing to the left.

DGR used this photograph as the compositional point of departure for the pencil drawing The Roseleaf .
