Actually the guy that painted that pic, Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a bit of an eccentric himself. He buried a book of poetry with his one time lover, than had her dug up a few years later in order to get his book back...I'm actually a big fan of his, and other pre-Raphaelite artwork...just sayin' eccentricity is not new in the world of the avant-garde.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Nice to get your identification of one of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. Yes, into this avant-garde group of myself. You mention Elizabeth Siddall (Lizzie Siddall). She was his one time lover and also wife I believe. Lower class background than that of Rossetti and his group, I believe it may have weighed on her ability to become one of them. Lovely red haired beauty.

Back to the subject at hand. The navel gazer, this spoilt childish perennial adolescent, frozen in time. In elite English snobbish tones- which I am not entitled to, I would exclaim.

What a bumptious ass!
