Inscriptions

Signature and date bottom left:

Dante Gabriele Rossetti / P.R.B. 1849
Notes Models:
Frances Polidori Rossetti sat for St. Anne.
Christina Rossetti sat for the Virgin.
Old Williams, employed by the Rossetti family, sat for St. Joachim.
Gabriel made a study, from a girl whom Collinson recommended to him, for the head of the angel. This was done in August 1849, when DGR was repainting parts of the picture. The original angel's face is said to have been modelled on Thomas Woolner's half-sister.
Repainting:
August 1849: DGR repainted "the dress of the Virgin and the angel's face" before sending the picture to the Dowager Marchioness of Bath, who had purchased it.
1864: The painting was sent to DGR late in 1864 for repainting by its owner at that time, Lady Louisa Fielding. According to Grieve, the picture was reframed at this time, and DGR "altered the angel's wings from white to deep pink and the Virgin's sleeves from yellow to brown".

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1882, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
