This 1897 pen and ink drawing by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is a study of the figure of Guenevere, a legendary queen in Arthurian literature. The drawing depicts a woman seated in a tree, likely an apple tree. Rossetti, who is known for his Pre-Raphaelite style, frequently drew inspiration from medieval literature, particularly Arthurian legend. This drawing captures a moment of stillness and contemplation, creating a striking composition through the figure's position within the branches of the tree.
