I redraw this image from John Everett Millais, of Elizabeth Siddal (Elizabeth Eleanor Siddal, styled and commonly known as "Lizzie", was an English artist, poet, and artists' model. Siddall was an important and influential artist and poet). John (8 June 1829 – 13 August 1896) was an English painter and illustrator and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherwood.
By the mid-1850s, Millais was moving away from the Pre-Raphaelite style to develop a new form of realism in his art.
Millais achieved popular success with A Huguenot(1851-52), which depicts a young couple about to be separated because of religious conflicts. He repeated this theme in many later works. All these early works were painted with great attention to detail, concentrating on the beauty and complexity of the natural world. In a painting such as Ophelia(1851-52), Millais created dense and elaborate pictorial surfaces based on the integration of naturalistic elements.
What do I think?
It is getting sad about the virus. The redraw of this woman is my style busy showing I think. I get a lot of inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherwood sketches, not the paintings. I like the style and I like to redo it.
What about the images?
It works but I feel the mouth is too dark and the teeth look too hard. Further I like it. I get the feeling the lady is busy dying of sickness. When I saw the images on the internet of John Millais I think that it could work for a picture who the person is sick.
