Deepdene, Frimley Green.
“It was William who sent you a
photo of the head
Rossetti did from him, he thought you might like to
have
it as Rossetti considered it one of his best drawings.
The head in
Miss Cary's book (Study for Dante) was done
from the model Alesandro. D.G.R.
made a study from William
and said unless he would cut his beard off he
could not use
the head. I did not consent to this, so the
professional
was called in.” Marie Stillman
