Two drawings from a Dutch bronze figure group, wrongly identified at being "Italian", possibly by Georgiana Burne-Jones as the writing resembles hers. In fact it is from Empire Triumphant over Avarice by Adriaen de Vries (1556–1626) of 1610. As yet it is unknown where Burne-Jones saw this bronze, there is a version now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, USA, which may well have passed through London. Burne-Jones was drawn to this bronze group through his admiration of the contrapposto of Michelangelo. The frontal view of the female nude was a source of inspiration for Nimue in The Beguiling of Merlin (1872-74) and the position of the hips was further recalled in The Tree of Forgiveness (1881-82).
