Simeon Solomon – Seated Angel Print (1863)

A vision of ethereal melancholy, this 1863 drawing by Simeon Solomon portrays a seated angel draped in soft blue robes, her wings folded gently as she gazes skyward in silent reverie. Rendered in delicate lines and subtle shading, the angel appears both sacred and human — serene yet quietly sorrowful.

Solomon, a queer Jewish artist working within the Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist movements, imbued his angels with profound emotional depth. They reflect not just spiritual devotion but also the longing and isolation of those who live outside societal norms. This angel, timeless and contemplative, speaks to the soul’s resilience — a figure of grace in stillness and strength in solitude.

Perfect for sacred spaces, queer art collections, or those drawn to spiritual symbolism with a profoundly human heart.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.
