The Prince’s Progress
Artist: Dante Gabriel Rossetti
1865
Pen and ink
160 x 59 mm
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.
