"Orpheus and Eurydice Reunited" is a sketch by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. The circular composition depicts the mythical lovers embracing. The use of white and gold chalk on a brown paper ground gives the artwork a sense of intimacy and ethereal beauty. The sketch captures the essence of their reunion after Orpheus's journey to the Underworld to retrieve Eurydice. The work is a testament to Burne-Jones's fascination with mythology and his ability to translate it into visual form.
