"Drapery Study for the Figure of Eternal Youth from The Hour Glass" is a preparatory work by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn Pickering De Morgan (1855–1919). This study is part of the artist's process in creating her finished painting "The Hour Glass," which delves into themes of time and mortality. De Morgan, known for her symbolist works that often carried a sense of mysticism and spiritual depth, meticulously prepared for her complex allegorical compositions through detailed studies such as this one.

The drapery study showcases De Morgan's skill in rendering fabric and understanding of the human form beneath it, a testament to her academic training and proficiency in the techniques of the Old Masters. Drapery studies were a common practice among artists to perfect the depiction of the folds, shadows, and movement of cloth before committing to the final composition. In this particular study, the focus on the figure of Eternal Youth is significant, as it represents an idealized form untouched by the passage of time, contrasting with the overarching theme of the ephemerality of life in "The Hour Glass."

Evelyn De Morgan, née Pickering, was associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and her work is characterized by its vivid use of color, intricate detail, and often, the portrayal of strong, allegorical female figures. "The Hour Glass" and its related studies reflect her interest in spiritual and philosophical ideas, which she explored through her art.

While the exact date of the drapery study's creation is not specified, it would have been executed during the period leading up to the completion of "The Hour Glass," which was finished in 1905. The study is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding De Morgan's artistic process and provides insight into the careful planning that went into her narrative-driven works.

The drapery study is a valuable artifact for art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the preparatory stages of one of De Morgan's significant paintings. It remains an example of the artist's dedication to her craft and her ability to imbue even the simplest of studies with a sense of grace and meaning.
