Hi, And thank you, but I've found that page several time myself. The pink sideless does seem as though it matches what I've described remembering, but it's not it.
I've even gone ahead and reviewed as much of the Pre-Raphaelite work as I can, since there is some medieval-inspired content mixed in with all of the Greco-Roman, but no, I'm not mis-remembering something from that movement. I know that when I saw this image it surprised me, as it was the first time I'd seen it ever, in spite of having done many hours of image research on sideless surcotes, on many previous occasions. No idea why this image is so obscure or elusive. I may be in for some sort of shock, if ever I do see it again.
