Immerse yourself in the captivating allure of Lady Lilith with our set of everyday greeting cards. Measuring 5in x 7in and accompanied by white envelopes, these cards showcase the timeless beauty and enigmatic charm of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's masterpiece.
Fascinated by women's physical allure, Rossetti imagines Lilith, a legendary femme fatale, as a self-absorbed nineteenth-century beauty. The artwork depicts her sensuously combing her hair and seductively exposing her shoulders, surrounded by flowers symbolizing different kinds of love. In Jewish literature, Lilith is described as Adam's first wife, an enchantress whose character is underscored by lines from Goethe’s Faust, “Beware . . . for she excels all women in the magic of her locks, and when she twines them round a young man’s neck, she will not ever set him free again.”
This stunning watercolor features the artist’s mistress, Fanny Cornforth, as the sitter. Rossetti and his assistant Dunn based this piece on an oil painting from 1866, adding layers of depth and history to its allure.
Perfect for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and those who appreciate the beauty of literary legends, these greeting cards are ideal for any occasion. Share the enchantment of Lady Lilith with friends and family, and let the magic of Rossetti's work inspire your everyday correspondence.
