The Prince’s Progress

Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti

1865

Pen and ink

This figure study is related to the compositional study (fig. 2) which shows the Prince arriving in a pose of hurriedness and anguish, as if the character is suddenly aware of his lateness. The closed fists suggest anger rather than grief.
