拍品专文

For his masterpiece The Lament for Icarus (1898, Tate Britain) Draper used a number of professional models. The singing nymph, with her arms outstretched in despair was drawn from Ethel Gurden and the model supporting Icarus's body was from Ethel Maud Warwick, who became Draper's favourite model and had also sat for The Sea Maiden (sold in these Rooms, 16 June 2010, lot 168).
