This work is an exquisite example of Burne-Jones's meticulous approach to the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and intricate compositions. The drawing serves as a preliminary study for one of Burne-Jones's most celebrated paintings, "The Beguiling of Merlin," which depicts the enchantress Nimue, also known as Vivien, ensnaring the legendary wizard Merlin with her magical allure.

In this particular study, Burne-Jones focuses on the delicate features and flowing hair of Nimue, capturing her ethereal beauty and enigmatic presence. The drawing showcases his skill in rendering fine details and textures, particularly in the intricate strands of hair and the subtle expression on Nimue's face.
The study not only highlights Burne-Jones's technical prowess but also provides insight into his creative process. By examining such preparatory works, art historians and enthusiasts can gain a deeper understanding of how Burne-Jones developed his compositions and brought his mythological subjects to life. The careful attention to the character's features in this study underscores the importance of individual elements in the overall narrative and emotional impact of the final painting.
