Study for ‘Boreas and Oreithyia’, male head looking down to left

Artist: De Morgan, Evelyn

Study of a male head for Evelyn De Morgan’s painting ‘Boreas and Oreithyia’. This study displays the model’s striking eyes and cheekbones and his expression conveys a pensiveness which contrasts with more typical violent and corporeal representations of Boreas. The model’s striking appearance and melancholic attitude may have affected Evelyn’s final composition and representation of the Greek God.
