Question

For a painting of this figure, an artist bragged about cheaply acquiring an “ancient dress” embroidered in silver. A different painting of this figure began as a pastel with a vase of flowers on a table, which Odilon Redon turned sideways before adding this figure’s head in profile at the bottom right. Long purple flowers represent “dead men’s fingers” in the corner of a painting of this figure, which also depicts the roots of an uprooted (*) willow tree. Amazingly detailed florals, including a chain of violets around this figure’s neck (10[1])and a bright poppy by her hand, appear in that painting partially created at the Hogsmill River. An artist was forced to pay doctor’s bills after his model for this character, Elizabeth Siddal, became ill posing in a cold bathtub. For 10 points, John Everett Millais painted what Shakespearean character floating in a river after she drowned? ■END■
