A preparatory drawing by Edward Burne-Jones for 'The Failure of Gawaine' tapestry, capturing the Arthurian knight with poignant detail. A beautiful example of Pre-Raphaelite art.

This evocative drawing by Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) is a preparatory study for 'The Failure of Gawaine', one of the celebrated Holy Grail tapestries commissioned by William Knox D'Arcy for his home, Stanmore Hall. Burne-Jones, a key figure in the British Aesthetic Movement, imbued his works with a sense of romanticism and medievalism, drawing inspiration from Arthurian legends and classical mythology. This study, executed in 1893, captures the figure of Gawaine with a poignant sense of defeat. The artist's delicate use of line and shading brings out the drapery and the figure's melancholic expression. The drawing offers a glimpse into Burne-Jones's creative process, revealing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey complex emotions through subtle gestures and facial expressions. As a fine art print, this study brings a touch of Pre-Raphaelite beauty and historical significance to any interior. Its muted colour palette and refined lines make it a versatile piece that complements both modern and traditional decor, adding a layer of sophistication and intellectual depth to your living space.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
