"Study of Val Prinsep as Sir Lancelot" is a notable work by the English painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was founded in 1848. The study is a preparatory work for Rossetti's larger project, "The Attainment: The Vision of the Holy Grail to Sir Galahad, Sir Bors, and Sir Percival," which was commissioned for the Oxford Union in 1857. The piece features Valentine Cameron Prinsep, commonly known as Val Prinsep, who was a close associate of Rossetti and a fellow artist, depicted in the role of Sir Lancelot, one of the most famous knights of the Arthurian legends.

This study is significant as it showcases Rossetti's process in capturing the likeness and character of his models for his narrative compositions. Prinsep's portrayal as Sir Lancelot is a testament to the Pre-Raphaelite's dedication to blending romantic medievalism with a keen observation of nature and individuals. The work is executed with the meticulous attention to detail and rich coloration that are characteristic of Rossetti's style.

Rossetti's interest in Arthurian legend was shared by other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and this study contributes to the understanding of the group's fascination with chivalric themes, which were seen as an antidote to the industrialization and moral challenges of Victorian England. The depiction of Sir Lancelot by Prinsep also reflects the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of male beauty and heroism, which was often embodied in their artistic and literary works.

While the study itself is a lesser-known piece compared to Rossetti's finished paintings, it provides valuable insight into his artistic process and the collaborative nature of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. The work is also an important piece within the broader context of 19th-century British art and the cultural revival of interest in medieval themes and stories.
