"Study of Fanny Cornforth, half-length, for 'Fazio's Mistress' by Dante Gabriel Rossetti" is a preparatory work by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This study features Fanny Cornforth, one of Rossetti's favored models and muses, who played a significant role in his artistic and personal life. Cornforth, born Sarah Cox, was a working-class woman who became intimately involved with Rossetti, both as a model and as his companion. Her robust and sensuous features made her an ideal subject for Rossetti's exploration of beauty and emotion.

The study is a half-length depiction, focusing on Cornforth's upper body and face, capturing her in a moment of introspection or reverie. Rossetti's technique in this work showcases his mastery of drawing and his ability to convey depth and character through delicate lines and shading. The study was created as a preparatory piece for the painting "Fazio's Mistress," which illustrates a scene from the poem "Fazio degli Uberti" by the 14th-century Italian poet Fazio degli Uberti. The poem tells the story of a passionate and tragic love affair, themes that resonated deeply with Rossetti's artistic sensibilities.

Rossetti's choice of Cornforth for this study underscores his preference for models who embodied a certain earthy sensuality, contrasting with the ethereal beauty often depicted by his contemporaries. The study not only serves as a testament to Rossetti's artistic process but also provides insight into his personal relationships and the dynamics between artist and muse during the Victorian era. Through this work, viewers can appreciate the intricate connection between Rossetti's literary inspirations and his visual artistry, as well as the enduring influence of his muses on his creative output.
