Figurative Works at the City Art Gallery, Birmingham, England: Works on Paper

Last night I was surfing the satellite channels and found nothing worth my time and then I switched over to my Roku for Internet streaming. Netflix was having problems loading so I switched over to the Amazon Prime programs. I discovered a series called Sister Windy's Odyssey. The final 30 minute episode had Sister Wendy visiting the City Gallery in Birmingham, England. After I watched the episode I did an Internet search and found the Gallery to be a fascinating resource for figurative works, especially the Pre-Raphaelites. City Gallery, Birmingham, England is the largest local authority Museum service in England with over 500,000 objects and is the home of the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite Art. I culled through a search of their database and found the below listed works. (Please note: These works are copyrighted by the museum and are listed here for educational purposes only.
