"Finished Study for Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamund" (1900-1905) is a pre-Raphaelite artwork by the English painter Evelyn Pickering De Morgan. The study is a preparatory work for a larger, more elaborate painting that explores the legendary confrontation between Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine and her husband King Henry II's mistress, Rosamund Clifford, also known as "Fair Rosamund." De Morgan, known for her symbolist style and feminist themes, often depicted women from history and mythology in her works, imbuing them with a sense of agency and complexity.

This particular study captures a moment of high drama and emotional intensity, as it portrays the fabled encounter in which Queen Eleanor offers Rosamund a choice between a dagger and a bowl of poison, a test of her intentions towards the King. De Morgan's rendering is notable for its rich color palette, attention to detail, and the way it conveys the psychological tension between the two women. The figures are set against a backdrop that reflects the artist's interest in medievalism and the decorative arts, elements that are characteristic of the Arts and Crafts Movement, with which she was associated.

As a study, this piece offers insight into De Morgan's artistic process, revealing how she experimented with composition, light, and color before executing her final paintings. The work is also significant for its reflection of the artist's engagement with themes of female power, rivalry, and the complexities of love and betrayal—themes that resonate with the broader social and cultural concerns of her time.

Evelyn De Morgan, née Pickering, was an accomplished artist whose work has gained renewed interest in recent years, as scholars and the public alike seek to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women in the history of art. "Finished Study for Queen Eleanor and Fair Rosamund" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be an important piece for understanding De Morgan's oeuvre and the broader context of women artists working in the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods.
