Lovers in Woods 1850 - 1896

"Lovers in Woods" is a pen and ink drawing on paper by Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Dated to between 1850 and 1896, the drawing depicts a romantic couple standing in a wooded landscape. The figures are dressed in historical attire, their poses suggesting a sense of intimacy and connection. The scene is framed by a window-like arch, echoing the Pre-Raphaelite tendency toward detailed realism and symbolic imagery. This artwork currently resides at the Art Institute of Chicago, offering viewers a glimpse into the romantic and evocative style of Millais's early work.
