"Lady Lilith" is an oil painting by the English artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, completed between 1866 and 1868, with later alterations made in 1872-73. Rossetti, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his vivid and symbolic works that often drew on literature, mythology, and his own poetic sensibilities. "Lady Lilith" is a prime example of Rossetti's fascination with female beauty and the femme fatale archetype, themes that recur throughout his oeuvre.

The painting depicts Lilith, a figure from Jewish mythology who is often considered the first wife of Adam, created before Eve. According to legend, Lilith was cast out of Eden for her refusal to submit to Adam, and she subsequently became a symbol of female independence and seduction. In Rossetti's interpretation, Lilith is shown seated in a luxurious, flower-filled setting, gazing at herself in a hand mirror. Her long, flowing hair, a common symbol of sensuality in Pre-Raphaelite art, cascades around her, emphasizing her allure and self-absorption.

Rossetti's portrayal of Lilith is imbued with layers of meaning. The mirror she holds can be seen as a symbol of vanity and self-reflection, while the surrounding flowers, particularly the poppies, hint at themes of sleep, death, and the supernatural. The painting's rich, vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail are characteristic of Rossetti's style, showcasing his skill in rendering texture and form.

"Lady Lilith" underwent significant changes after its initial completion. In 1872-73, Rossetti repainted the face of Lilith, replacing the original model, Fanny Cornforth, with that of Alexa Wilding, another of his frequent muses. This alteration has been the subject of much scholarly discussion, as it reflects Rossetti's evolving artistic vision and personal relationships.

Today, "Lady Lilith" is housed in the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware. It remains a significant work within Rossetti's body of art, exemplifying his complex interplay of beauty, mythology, and symbolism.
