The shadow of the sundial falls on nine, the depicted character's hour of death. In the background one red and one dark figure flank the light source, a clearing in some trees. The subject sits with hands folded and eyes closed while a poppy is placed in her lap by a red bird with a halo. Actually a portrait of the artist's wife, Elizabeth Siddell, this is FTP, what Dante Gabriel Rossetti painting depicting the beloved of Dante.
