Label TextFound depicts the poignant moment when a young farmer, arriving in London to sell his calf at market, discovers his sweetheart, now a prostitute left destitute on the streets of the metropolis. This painting is the only large-scale example of Rossetti's work to grapple with the principles most relevant to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in its early years. Specifically, documentation of social concerns brought about by the Industrial Revolution. It remained unfinished at the artist’s death. There are no works to discover for this record.
