Fanny Cornforth
Bocca Baciata (Lips That Have Been Kissed) 1859
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, English, 1828–1882
Here sits Fanny Cornforth, mistress of Rosetti.
As states Giovanni Boccaccio:
"Bocca baciate non perda ventura, anzi rinova come fa la luna"
(The mouth that has been kissed loses not its freshness; still it renews itself even as does the moon).
