File:William Holman Hunt - Bianca.jpg

Bianca (1868-69). Oil on canvas. Worthing Museum and Art Gallery, UK.

The model for Bianca was an American girl named Miss Lydiard: ‘a very beautiful fair American girl’ according to Hunt.

Depicts Bianca, a character from Shakespeare’s Othello. She is Cassio’s jealous lover. Bianca plays a significant role in the progress of Iago’s scheme to incite Othello’s jealousy of Cassio. Traditionally regarded as a courtesan, Bianca was occasionally cut from performances in the 19th century on moral grounds.
