Drawing for Dantis Amor Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1 Drawing for Dantis Amor DGR “Found on the version of the 1864 finished watercolor The Gate of Memory in the Janet Camp Troxell Collection, New Haven, Connecticut. We can deduce from a letter Rossetti wrote to Mrs. M. D. Conway (October 17, 1875) that the Dantis Amor sketch had been pasted face down onto a white mount when the artist sold the work of the obverse to the dealer Ernest Gambart. This sale must have been before April 1, 1871 . . .” (Ainsworth, “DGR's <hi rend="i">Dantis Amor</hi>”). 1871?
