The Briar Rose Series – Study for ‘The Garden Court’ IV is a preparatory work by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a prominent British artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This study is part of Burne-Jones's celebrated Briar Rose Series, a collection of paintings inspired by the Sleeping Beauty tale, which he worked on extensively during the late 19th century. The series reflects Burne-Jones's fascination with medieval romance, mythology, and the interplay of beauty and melancholy.

The Briar Rose Series was first conceived in the 1870s and completed in its final form in 1890. It consists of four large panels, along with additional smaller companion pieces, that depict the story of Sleeping Beauty in a dreamlike and poetic manner. The panels are titled The Briar Wood, The Council Chamber, The Garden Court, and The Rose Bower. Each scene portrays a moment frozen in time, emphasizing the stillness and enchantment of the tale. The study for The Garden Court IV is a preparatory drawing or painting that Burne-Jones created as part of his meticulous process of planning and refining the composition for the final work.

In The Garden Court, the artist depicts a group of sleeping figures, including knights and attendants, who have succumbed to the magical slumber cast over the palace. The scene is characterized by its intricate detailing, harmonious composition, and a sense of quiet, otherworldly beauty. Burne-Jones's use of muted colors and flowing lines enhances the dreamlike quality of the work, while the overgrown briars and roses symbolize the passage of time and the intertwining of nature with human fate.

Burne-Jones often created multiple studies and sketches for his major works, allowing him to experiment with poses, arrangements, and details before committing to the final composition. These studies provide valuable insight into his creative process and the evolution of his ideas. The study for The Garden Court IV likely served as a preparatory step in developing the figures, drapery, and overall design of the panel.

The completed Briar Rose Series is housed at Buscot Park, a country house in Oxfordshire, England, where it is displayed in a specially designed room. The series is considered one of Burne-Jones's masterpieces and a significant example of the late Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. The study for The Garden Court IV, like other preparatory works by the artist, is appreciated for its role in the creation of this iconic series and for its standalone artistic merit.
