Lady Lilith
Dante Gabriel Rossetti · 1866
Why it's great
A woman sits in front of a mirror, brushing her long golden hair, in a rich red-and-white room. In old legend, Lilith was Adam's first wife. Rossetti's painting is full of beautiful details, like flowers and a glowing mirror. It's a dreamy picture of beauty and mystery.
