"Study for a figure in 'When sorrow comes in summer roses bloom in vain'" is a preparatory work by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John Melhuish Strudwick (1849–1937). Strudwick, known for his highly detailed and symbolically rich paintings, was associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 that aimed to reform art by rejecting what they considered the mechanistic approach first adopted by Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo.

This particular study is part of the preparatory process for Strudwick's larger and more complex work titled "When sorrow comes in summer roses bloom in vain," which reflects the artist's penchant for poetic and often melancholic themes. The phrase "when sorrow comes in summer roses bloom in vain" suggests a juxtaposition of beauty and sadness, a common motif in Pre-Raphaelite art where the aesthetic is intertwined with deeper emotional or spiritual meanings.

Strudwick's studies are noted for their meticulous attention to detail and composition, often exploring the subtleties of human expression and the intricate interplay of color and light. As with many of his works, this study likely served as a means to refine the final painting's figure, ensuring that the emotional resonance and symbolic content were fully realized in the completed piece.

While the full painting may capture a broader narrative or allegorical content, the study itself provides insight into Strudwick's artistic process and the care with which he approached the individual elements of his compositions. The work reflects the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement's ideals of truth to nature, careful observation, and a return to the detail and complexity of early Renaissance art.

As a representative of Strudwick's oeuvre, the study contributes to the understanding of the artist's method and the broader context of late 19th-century British art, particularly within the sphere of the Pre-Raphaelite legacy and its enduring influence on visual culture.
