Two studies, dated to 1866, exist for the work, but two notebook sketches may be from an earlier date. The painting focuses on Lilith, but is meant to be a "Modern Lilith" rather than the mythological figure. She contemplates her own beauty in her hand-mirror. The painting is one of a series of Rossetti paintings of such "mirror pictures." Other painters soon followed with their own mirror pictures with narcissistic female figures, but <i>Lady Lilith</i> has been considered "the epitome" of the type.<sup id="cite_ref-F_and_W_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-F_and_W-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Rossetti's assistant, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Treffry_Dunn" title="Henry Treffry Dunn">Henry Treffry Dunn</a>, states that the final part painted was the flowery background.
