And this is why I stand by my opinion.

"Janey was the wife of William Morris. In the 1870s Janey was Rossetti's favourite model. His last painting of her was The Daydream."

I think Janey must have been a traffic stopper and rumour has it Rossetti was in love with her. Alas to no avail.

I have a couple of books and several framed prints of pre-Raphaelites, too. .....

Jane Burden (maiden name) was a big favorite among the PRBers, but I don't think it was because she was knockout, I think it was because her face was impassive.
