Figure of Pilgrim in Romaunt of the Rose c. 1873 - 1877

"Figure of Pilgrim in Romaunt of the Rose" is a pencil drawing by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones, created between 1873 and 1877. The drawing, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, features a single figure clad in flowing robes, their hands outstretched in a gesture of supplication. The figure’s graceful form and the delicate lines of the drawing are characteristic of Burne-Jones's style, which often drew inspiration from medieval art and literature, as evidenced in this work's title. The drawing is a study for a larger painting, "The Romaunt of the Rose," which is a complex allegory based on a 13th-century French poem.
