"Study of a Harp for 'Arthur in Avalon'" is a preparatory work by the preeminent Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones. This study is part of the developmental process for his larger and more famous painting "Arthur in Avalon," which was left unfinished at the time of the artist's death in 1898. The study specifically focuses on the intricate details of a harp, an instrument often associated with the legendary tales of King Arthur and the idyllic and mystical island of Avalon.

As a study, this piece would have served as a detailed examination of the harp's form and ornamentation, allowing Burne-Jones to perfect its representation before incorporating it into the final composition. The attention to detail reflects the artist's commitment to the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which included a return to the meticulous craftsmanship and rich symbolism of medieval art, prior to what they considered the corrupting influence of the Renaissance.

Burne-Jones's works are characterized by their dreamlike quality and their evocation of myth and legend. "Study of a Harp for 'Arthur in Avalon'" would have been instrumental in achieving the ethereal atmosphere of the larger painting, contributing to the overall narrative of King Arthur's final resting place. The study is an example of the artist's broader practice of creating multiple preparatory sketches and studies for his major works, a testament to his methodical approach and his pursuit of visual perfection.

While the study itself may not be as widely recognized as the final painting, it provides valuable insight into Burne-Jones's artistic process and the level of detail that underpins his larger compositions. It remains an important piece for scholars and admirers of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, illustrating the painstaking preparatory work that often goes unseen in the creation of a masterpiece.
