The artwork is an important piece within Burne-Jones's oeuvre, offering a glimpse into the preparatory stages that preceded the completion of his narrative paintings. It is a reflection of the artist's dedication to perfecting his vision before committing it to the final canvas, underscoring the importance of preliminary studies in the creation of Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces.
