This tender portrait is the only surviving sketch made by the British artist William Morris of his wife, Jane 🖌💕
It was probably created as a preliminary study for Morris’ picture ‘Queen Guenevere' – also known as ‘La Belle Iseult’ – which is in the collection at the @テート・ギャラリー. He is said to have scrawled on the canvas ‘I cannot paint you, but I love you’ 📜
As well as being a Pre-Raphaelite painter, William Morris was also a poet and social activist. He is best known for creating luxuriously naturalistic textile patterns, which are still popular today 🌿🍃
William Morris died #OnThisDay in 1898.
🔎 William Morris (1834–1898), ‘Portrait of Jane Morris’. Graphite, pen and black ink with grey wash on paper, between 1834–1896.
