Exhibited: Royal Academy of Arts, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, painter and poet, 13 January to 11 March 1973, 243. References:Virginia Surtees, Paintings and Drawings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti,268. Maria Teresa Benedetti, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1998) 237. Executed on the 20th December 1862 at the home of William Bell Scott in Newcastle upon Tyne, where Rossetti was staying for the Christmas holiday, following the death of his wife Elizabeth Siddal on 11th February that year. Already married to Letitia Norquoy, Scott met Alice Boyd (1824-1897) in 1859 and quickly formed a close attachment to the unconventional and unmarried laird of Penkill Castle in Ayrshire. From that time, Scott, his wife, and Alice Boyd together divided their time between extended summer and Christmas stays in Scotland with Alice, and at the Scott's London home in Cheyne Walk, (Rossetti also moved to Cheyne Walk in October 1862). Alice Boyd and William Bell Scott invited members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle to Penkill, including Dante Gabriel and William Michael Rossetti, as well as their sister Christina, and Arthur Hughes. It was during his long stays there in 1868 and 1869 that Rossetti prepared for publication the 1870 edition of his poems. The present work is Rossetti's only known drawing of Miss Boyd. (1)

*Rossetti (Dante Gabriel, 1828-1882). William Bell Scott, October 1852, pencil, black chalk and grey wash on paper, dated October 1852 to upper right, 296 x 240 mm (11.75 x 9.4 ins), framed and glazed, with remains of label for the Rossetti exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, 1973, and photocopy of the catalogue raisonn‚ entry for this work in Virginia Surtees, Paintings and Drawings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, to verso Provenance: Rossetti sale (1882), lot 1, £6 6s, bought by Fawcett; Alice Boyd, Penkill Castle; Evelyn M. Courtney-Boyd; purchased 1967 by M. Clayton-Stamm; thence by descent to the present owner. Exhibited: Royal Academy of Arts, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, painter and poet, 13 January to 11 March 1973, 244. References: Marillier 314. Virginia Surtees, Paintings and Drawings of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 456. Reproduced in Holman Hunt, Pre-Raphaelitism, volume 1, facing page 160. This striking drawing was probably made on 23 October 1852 when William Bell Scott was at John Everett Millais's house in Gower Street, Bloomsbury, with other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including Rossetti (see Rossetti's letter to Ford Madox Ford, in William Fredeman, Correspondence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 52. 14). The present work (dating from the early 1850's, the decade in which the artist was at his most imaginative and original), with its intimate, compressed focus and downward tilt of the head, vividly conveys the psychology of the sitter as a fellow artist and poet, and expresses Rossetti's dictum 'Conception, my boy, fundamental brain-work, that is what makes the difference in all art'. William Bell Scott (1811-1890) was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement from its beginning through his friendship with Rossetti. Born in Edinburgh, he moved to London in 1837 where he associated with the genre painters of the Clique, including Augustus Egg, Richard Dadd, John Phillip, and William Powell Frith. He exhibited at the British Institution from 1841 and the Royal Academy from 1842. In 1847 Rossetti wrote to Scott to express his admiration for Scott's new poem The Year of the World, initiating their friendship, and shortly thereafter elicited contributions from Scott to the short-lived Pre-Raphaelite magazine The Germ.
