This pencil drawing by Edward Burne-Jones, created between 1873 and 1877, is a study for the artist's painting *The Mirror of Venus*. The drawing features a female figure in a flowing gown, bending forward with her head bowed, and is a masterful example of Burne-Jones' Pre-Raphaelite style, known for its attention to detail, use of symbolism and its focus on beauty and nature. The delicate lines and graceful curves of the figure highlight the artist's skill in capturing the human form. This piece now resides in the Art Institute of Chicago.
