拍品专文

Rossetti (1829-1919), brother of the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, was an art critic, writer and founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; Palgrave (1826-1888) was a traveller and diplomat who often travelled in disguise as a Syrian doctor through Syria and Arabia; and Watts (1817-1904) was a painter and sculptor who completed approximately 300 portraits of his contemporaries. A great friend of Cameron, he introduced her to several of her sitters. His portrait of Cameron, which she has copied here, was painted in 1850.
