More about this artwork

This artwork by Edward Burne-Jones, titled "Car of Love" or "Love's Wayfaring - Study of Maria Zambaco," is a beautifully rendered pencil study. The subject of the drawing is Maria Zambaco, who was not only Burne-Jones's model but also his mistress. The portrait captures her in profile, showcasing her elegant features with a particularly detailed focus on her flowing, intricate hairstyle.Maria Zambaco’s expression is thoughtful and somewhat melancholic, highlighting her striking features and the delicate contours of her face and neck. Her gaze is directed downwards, giving the viewer a sense of introspective or reflective mood. This could perhaps reflect the complex and often troubled relationship she had with the artist.The drawing is characteristically Pre-Raphaelite, a style known for its attention to detail, romanticism, and fascination with medieval themes. Burne-Jones's use of soft lines and careful shading in the pencil work adds a tactile, almost ethereal quality to the image, emphasizing the beauty and emotional depth of the subject.

Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was a British designer and Victorian narrative painter. He was born in Birmingham to a picture-framer. He intended to become a minister and studied theology at Oxford. However, his life took a turn when he met William Morris. Together they formed The Brotherhood, a society worshipping the poets and architecture of the middle ages. They both worked together on several projects for Morris & Co. Burne-Jones designed tapestries, jewellery, sculptures, ceramics, furniture and stained glass for the company. His artworks truly captured the spirit of the nineteenth century and the Arts and Crafts movement. In recent decades his art has had a renaissance and become among the most expensive pre-raphaelite artworks to be sold at auction.
