LILITH, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Mr. Alexander Stevenson, Tynemouth, England; canvas. Illustration of Rossetti's sonnet, Lilith. According to ancient legend, the witch Lilith, Adam's first wife, who was as cruel as she was lovely, is immortal, and still lures men into her snares. In the picture she is lolling back in a chair, contemplating her features in a mirror held in her left hand, while she draws her right hand through her pale golden hair which falls in masses about her throat and shoulders. Painted in 1864.—Athenæum (1873), 407.
