This work belongs to the later period of his career, when he moved away from the narrative subjects of the early Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Instead, he focused on the depiction of single female figures, often referred to as his stunners. These compositions prioritise mood, colour, and the sensuous qualities of the subject over complex storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting features a woman with voluminous, copper-toned hair, which she brushes with a small comb. Her gaze is directed away from the viewer, creating a sense of private contemplation. Rossetti uses a warm palette to define the texture of her hair, which cascades around her shoulders and frames her face. The figure wears a simple white garment, providing a contrast to the surrounding tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the table in the foreground, Rossetti includes several objects that suggest a domestic setting. A hairbrush, a peacock feather, and blue-and-white porcelain vessels sit near a string of beads. These items serve as decorative elements, reflecting the artist's interest in aestheticism and the collection of curiosities. The background is dark, which pushes the figure forward and emphasises the luminosity of her hair and skin. The composition is tight, focusing the viewer's attention on the tactile nature of the scene. Rossetti's technique here relies on layered glazes to achieve the depth of colour seen in the hair. This piece is characteristic of his mid-Victorian output, where the focus is on the idealised feminine form and the decorative arrangement of objects within a confined space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/stages-of-cruelty-ford-madox-brown\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStages of Cruelty - Ford Madox Brown — Ford Madox Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/ophelia-john-everett-millais\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOphelia - John Everett Millais — John Everett Millais\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dante Gabriel Rossetti","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58850985476431,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58851018572111,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58851018604879,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58851018637647,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58851018670415,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Golden-Tresses_Poster_CompositorV1_1790086702874.jpg?v=1790088326","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/golden-tresses-dante-gabriel-rossetti","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
