Это вторая акварель художника. Первоначально она составляла часть эскиза к "Королеве Кэйт" , который был уничтожен художником, но четыре фрагмента сохранились. Сюжет взят из поэмы Брагнинга 'Pippa Passes'. Композиция в целом должна была представлять королеву, восседающую среди множества девушек в "расписанной галерее".
This is the artist's second watercolour, and originally formed part of a large design for Kate the Queen, which was destroyed by Rossetti but of which four fragments remain. The subject was taken from Browning's poem 'Pippa Passes'. The entire composition was to represent a queen sitting among many maidens in a 'painted gallery'.

Love's Mirror or a Parable of Love 1850 – 1852
Black pen and ink over pencil, with ink wash, on paper.

The simple message of the 'parable' is that while the young man assists his beloved with her self-portrait, the mirror ('Love's Mirror') improves on art by reflecting an image of the two lovers together. Whether the features of the woman are meant to be those of Elizabeth Siddal is unclear, but the subject can be read as a romanticised image of her in the dual role of Rossetti's model and pupil in the earliest days of their relationship. These is no contemporary reference to this drawing, although it is known to have belonged to the poet Coventry Patmore (possibly as a gift from the artist), who was an intimate associate of the Pre-Raphalites. The model for the young man in the drawing may have been Thomas Woolner.
