Engraving after the painting by Frederick Goodall (1822-1904). Goodall was taught by his artist father, Edward, and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1838. After painting landscapes and rural scenes early in his career, a trip to Egypt in 1858-9 led to a change in direction. Thereafter Goodall painted mainly scenes from Egyptian life with Biblical associations. Goodall was elected RA in 1864 and enjoyed great popularity during this time, but his fortunes later declined greatly and in 1902 he was declared bankrupt.

Edwin Long (1829-1891) was born in Bath, had an early and precocious talent for drawing, studied at the RA Schools from 1849, and also was a student under John Phillip, who encouraged him to travel. in 1874 he visited Egypt and Syria, and this was the start of his career as an Orientalist painter. He developed a rich, exotic style, strong in detail and often on canvases of large size, allowing him to show long processions, enormous palaces or sweeps of mountains on an epic scale. His best years were in the 1870s-80s, when he was a popular, successful artist specialising in biblical stories and life in ancient Egypt. He became ARA in 1876 and RA in 1881. The painting is part of the collection in the Russell Coates Museum, Bouremouth, England.

Mezzotint on india, Printsellers' blindstamp. Limited to 200. 580 x 780mm. Tear just entering india.
Sir Walter Scott's novel 'The Bride of Lammermoor', basis of Donizetti's 'Lucia di Lammermoor". Edgar, Master of Ravenswood, has just rescued Lucy Ashton, daughter of his enemy, from a wild bull. Unaware of his identity she is surprised at his cold manner. The model for Ravenswood perfectly fits Scott's description: 'A monteso cap and a black feather drooped over the wearer's brow, and partly concealed his features which, so far as seen were dark, regular, and full of majestic though somewhat sullen expression'. Millais, Holman Hunt and Rossetti had formed the revolutionary Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848.

Antonio Ciseri (1821-1891) was a Swiss painter of religious subjects. He was born in Ronco sopra Ascona in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. In 1833 he moved with his father to Florence, where in 1834 he was to the Accademia di Belle Arti, training under the auspices Niccola Benvenuti. In 1849, he began offering instruction to young painters, and eventually ran a private art school. Among his earliest students was Silvestro Lega. Ciseri's religious paintings are Raphaelesque in their compositional outlines and their polished surfaces, but are nearly photographic in effect. He fulfilled many important commissions from churches in Italy and Switzerland. Ciseri also painted a significant number of portraits. He died in Florence on March 8, 1891.
