"Study for the head of Whittington" is a notable work by the British artist Henrietta Rae, an influential figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century art scene. Henrietta Rae, born in 1859, was renowned for her classical and allegorical paintings, often infused with a strong sense of narrative and meticulous attention to detail. Her works frequently explored themes from mythology, literature, and history, reflecting her deep engagement with the cultural and intellectual currents of her time.

"Study for the head of Whittington" exemplifies Rae's skill in portraiture and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects with remarkable precision and sensitivity. This study is believed to be a preparatory work for a larger composition, showcasing Rae's process of developing her ideas and refining her technique. The subject, Whittington, likely refers to Richard Whittington, a historical figure who served as the Lord Mayor of London in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Whittington's life and legend, including the famous tale of "Dick Whittington and His Cat," have been a source of inspiration for many artists and writers over the centuries.
