  1. Thanks for letting us know of this Stephanie. I will definitely check out Fulham Palace when these works go on show. I’ve seen some of these works before in Fulham Library about ten years ago. It was only a small show but well worth the visit. I’d do anything to see those drawings again. They changed the way I draw.

    Burne Jones’ pencil studies and portraits are beautiful works of art in their own right. ‘Haunting’ is the only way I can describe them.
