Dawn,
I don't know the identity of the artist, but I don't think he is a
pre-Raphaelite, unless he is an older member of that movement. According
to Victorianweb.org, the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood was founded in 1848
and the earliest listed member was born in 1827, about 10 years older
than this artist if he was in his 20s in 1839. However, I agree that the
portrait is reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and is Romanitic
in style. If you find out who it is, please post to the list.
