Study of a male head for Evelyn De Morgans painting Boreas and Oreithyia. This study displays the models striking eyes and cheekbones and his expression conveys a pensiveness which contrasts with more typical violent and corporeal representations of Boreas. The models striking appearance and melancholic attitude may have affected Evelyns final composition and representation of the Greek God.
