About the piece
Created in 1896 by Kate Bunce, 'Melody (Musica)' exemplifies the late Pre-Raphaelite style and the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement. The composition is a masterclass in pattern and texture, contrasting the bold red sleeves of the musician's gown with an intricate floral green dress and a backdrop of delicate spring blossoms.
