A lovely antique print depicting a beautiful woman. The print is based on the painting Hope by Sir Edward Burne Jones. Burne Jones was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The movement sought to return to a purer art form, they were often inspired by Medieval design yet had a sentimental overtone. The model for the original painting was Alexa Wilding. This print dates from the turn of the century. It is a sepia toned print with subtle hints of color. The print is in it's original wood frame and is complete with glass and a hanging wire. Overall dimensions including the frame are 16 1/8" x 6 3/8". The Hope print is in very good overall condition. The frame has some wear to the high points around the perimeter edge but is perfectly presentable, see photo's. The print would be perfect in an antique Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite or Romantic decor. It is a lovely antique item.
