    In Oxford, Rossetti saw Jane Burden, later Mrs William Morris, and immediately asked her to pose for him. Sabra's embrace of an armoured figure, enmeshing him with her hair, and St George's distracted gaze hint at Rossetti's dilemma of being involved with Elizabeth Siddall but feeling a strong attraction for Jane.
