Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall (1829 – 1862). English artists' model, poet
and artist. She was painted and drawn extensively by artists of the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, including Walter Deverell,
William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais (including his notable 1852 painting Ophelia)
and her husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. She featured prominently in
Rossetti's early paintings of women.
"
Overcome with grief,
Rossetti enclosed in his wife's coffin a journal containing the only
copy he had of his many poems. He supposedly slid the book into Siddal's
red hair."
