About the Item

Romantic, pre Raphaelite painting titled 'Cinderella', this oil on canvas painting is in the Victorian period after a painting noted to be in the collection of Sir Andrews Lloyd Webber, famed for writing and producing world famous musicals such as 'Cats', 'Les Miserables' and 'Phantom of the Opera'. This charming painting has a bit of theatre in it with beautiful Cinderella looking out from her place by the cinders with her broom and a whimsical peacock feather in her lap. Webber's Cinderella dates to 1881 by Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896), a member of the Pre Raphaelites in London. The Pre Raphaelites were a group of artists known for choosing literary subjects in jewel-like colors, with attention to detail, and a penchant toward symbolism. In this painting we see the Pre Raphaelite characteristics of a recognizable fairy tale literary figure with bold color in her auburn flowing hair, green dress and red cap, holding a peacock feather. The peacock feather foretells Cinderella's story, symbolizing beauty and grace, elegance and wealth, renewal and even royalty. Millais was a precocious artist, exhibiting at age nine and joining the Royal Academy School at age 11, the youngest pupil ever. He painted Cinderella when he was 52, a well established artist and leading Pre Raphaelite member. Cinderella was painted with help from a 12-13 year old girl who sat as a young model for Millais, Miss Beatrice Buckstone. There is an outline of the bellows hanging on the wall opposite Cinderella, signifying her association with the cinders of the fireplace that she keeps warm. A glow of firelight outlines her dress. In this painting we see only a closer view of the girl herself. She is a mirror reflection of the famous Millais painting, facing left rather than the facing right. This painting has no signature. it is set in a frame and canvas that has the characteristics of a late 19th century, so soon after the famous painting by Millais in 1881. The canvas shows age, prepared by Winsor & Newton Limited, printed on the back. It is possibly a study of a more close up Cinderella without the detailed background, bare feet and defined bellows and stool in the Millais painting. Could it be an enlarged study of the girl, without the background detail, that would appear in the final work? The painting is about 27" high and 19" wide. In the frame it is 34" by 27". The frame is wood with gilt. The stretched bar appears older with a vintage original canvas, unlined and in very good condition. There has been minor retouching visible under UV light. Otherwise it appears to be in very good condition. Provenance is from a private collection in England, imported to the United States in 2025. Still this is a charming original hand painted oil painting of Millais's Cinderella, Beatrice Buckstone.
