Length, date and source check out, and the image is free use. I would rework the hook slightly to include relevant links and to indicate that this is a detail of the painting and not the painting entire, so '... that Dante Gabriel Rossetti overpainted the face of his mistress, Fanny Cornforth, in the painting Lady Lilith (detail pictured), depicting the "first wife of Adam" with the face of another model?' However a more serious issue is that several entire paragraphs and one entire section lack any cites. Benea (talk) 18:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- (alt2)... that Rosetti overpainted the face of his former mistress in his painting of Lady Lilith with the face of one of his later models (detail pictured)?
