A Peaceful Slumber in Victorian Elegance - Girl Asleep in a Crinoline Dress by Millais (1872) This image, entitled 'A Girl Asleep,' is a beautiful illustration taken from the novel 'Framley Parsonage' by Anthony Trollope, illustrated by the renowned English painter, John Everett Millais. Dated back to 1872, this exquisite print showcases a young girl in a deep, peaceful sleep on a sumptuously decorated bed. The girl's crinoline dress, a symbol of Victorian femininity and elegance, adds an enchanting touch to the scene. Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. In this illustration, he masterfully portrays the tranquility and innocence of the sleeping girl, her delicate features framed by the soft folds of her crinoline dress. The intricately patterned bedspread and the ornate decorations on the walls further emphasize the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. The novel 'Framley Parsonage' was first published in 1861 and is the fifth novel in Trollope's Barsetshire series. The story revolves around the lives of the inhabitants of the fictional town of Framley Parsonage and explores themes of love, marriage, and social class. Millais' illustrations, like this one, were an integral part of the novel's publication and helped bring the characters and their stories to life for its readers. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a must-have for any collection of Victorian art or literature. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance, grace, and innocence.
