Frederick G. Smith, 19th Century (Formerly attributed to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1828-1882)

Earth, from the series "The Four Elements", ca.1888/89, pen and ink, brush and wash over graphite

Minneapolis Institute of Art 

The attribution of this stained glass design, along with its three companion drawings in Mia's collection, has been a century-old puzzle. The large-scale cartoons, representing the four elements, were acquired in 1910 as the work of the famous British Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882). This attribution was based on the spurious monogram D.G.R inscribed at the lower edge of each of the drawings. Over the years, other artists' names have been proposed -Frederic James Shields (1833-1911), Henry Holiday (1839-1927)- but no consensus among experts was found. (Mia)
