<p>This intimate watercolour of Annie Miller is different in style from William Holman Hunt’s painting of her, <span>The Awakening Conscience</span>, made ten years before (which is on display in the 1840 Gallery). It reads less like a story and more like a poem or music. Miller is swathed in yellow in the manner of a Renaissance portrait to emphasise her ‘bodily beauty’, as Rossetti termed it, and the beauty of colour. A later oil version was named after the woman most famous for the enchanting power of her appearance, Helen of Troy.</p><p><em>Gallery label, February 2016</em></p>
