Morris as Mariana from Measure for Measure, painted by Dante Gabriel #Rossetti (1870)

Study of Jane Morris by Evelyn De Morgan (1904)
A woman posed seated, only visible down to the waist, with one arm draped across the top of the chair. Her dress is full, the drapery chosen for the way it hangs and folds. Her face in profile, her head tilted down showing her strong jawline, and her hair in rows of curls gathered at the nape of her neck. Desciption of the first image fits for this image also, except it's a painting, in colour and we can see the dress is blue A painting of Jane Morris in later years with silver hair, striking a similar pose to those in her earlier pre-raphaelite portraits, with tilted head supported by a blue cushion.
