Princess Sabra Drawing the Lot
Público DepositedBurne-Jones, Edward Coley (1833-1898). English artist.
In Princess Sabra Drawing the Lot, the young women draw a lot from a bag to decide which one is to be sacrificed to the dragton. The king's daughter, Sabra, picks the slip containing the word moritura
indicating that she must die. The parents of the young women on the platform look on from below.
Painting number three from a series of seven artworks titled The Legend of St. George.
The series was commissioned in 1865 by a fellow artist, Birket Foster, to place in the dining room of his mansion, called The Hill, that once stood southwest of London.
