This work showcases the talent of the young artist, having been painted only six years after beginning her training under Ford Madox Brown. The subject is taken from Boccaccio’s psychological romantic novel Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta and bears many of the hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with whom she was so close. — Bonham's
