Edward Burne-Jones - Cabinet




[Cabinet decorated with scenes from The Prioress's Tale]
oak and deal, painted in oils
inscribed EBJ to WM, inscibed with texts from Chaucer

Given as a wedding present to Morris by Burne-Jones and at first placed in the bedroom at the Red House but went to London with the Morrises in 1865. Painted presumably in 1858-9 with Jane Burden as the model.
Often considered an odd subject for a wedding present.
