ISABELLA, Sir John Everett Millais, Royal Institution, Liverpool; canvas, H. 3 ft. 3 in. × 4 ft. 7-1/2 in. Scene from Keats's poem—"Isabella, or the Pot of Basil"—founded on Boccaccio's story; descriptive of the feelings of the two brothers on discovering the mutual love of Isabella and Lorenzo. This, the first Pre-Raphaelite picture by Millais, represents two rows of persons seated at table, nearly all seen in profile, and most of them portraits of friends. At right, Lorenzo (William Rossetti) holds a plate, on which he offers half of a cut blood-*orange to Isabella (Mrs. Henry Hodgkinson), who is caressing a hound. At left, one of the brothers (Mr. John Harris), enraged at her reception of Lorenzo's courtesy, viciously kicks the hound, while the other (Dante Gabriel Rossetti), looking over his glass, watches the lovers with cruel eyes. A guest (the artist's father) wipes his lips with a napkin; another (Mr. W. Hugh Fenn) pares an apple; a serving-man (Mr. Wright), with a white napkin over his arm, stands behind Isabella and Lorenzo. Painted in 1848-9; Royal Academy, 1849; bought by B. G.
