Note du spécialiste

Charles Allston Collins was the son of the artist William Collins, R.A., and brother of the author Wilkie Collins. He was part of the circle surrounding the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood and his style was heavily influenced by their work. From the 1850s he turned increasingly to writing, and in 1860 he married Charles Dickens's daughter Kate.
