Label TextRossetti painted the still life in the foreground of this painting while under the tutelage of Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893). The female figure in the background was probably added in the 1860s. Her facial features suggest it is Fanny Cornforth, a model who was “discovered” in 1856 while Rossetti and others were attending the London city-wide fete celebrating the return of Florence Nightingale from the Crimean War.
