Gabriel was born March 1st 1783 in the city of Vasto, Abruzzo Citeriore. His parents had a total of four sons and three daughters, in which they lived a very humble life. Rossetti was a great writer as he was a painter. He was did not hold back his voice, he began talking about prostitution as early as in 1847. He wrote back to one of his friends, William Bell Scott, which also took interest in this topic. His work was inspired by the italian poet, Dante. He wanted people to take interest in social issues using his art work and writing.

The painting itself was never finished. Found By, was painted in intervals. Rossetti started the painting autumn of 1854, and never got to finish it due to his death. Ellen Frazer, Alexander Munro's maid might have posed for the head of the woman in the painting. It appeared that he had trouble painting the female shown in the picture and took trial and error to figure it out. His mother and sister even helped him on occasions. It is not clear where he painted, but where his painting was exhibited. A year after his death 1883, his painted was in the museum of Tate Britain.

The painting might contain references to the christian bible. The rejection of the old testament figure of God might be depicted by the title "Found by" and the fact that the painting itself never got finished. He introduces a new version of the traditional creed: the religion of humanity. Meaning every individual is responsible of their salvation.

Gabriel Rossetti's painted impacted British art, its movements and aesthetics. His work inspired the following generation to continue his style of art. As for the audience's reaction, I couldn't find any clear answer to what they though of the painting. I'd imagine, by the time period this piece was painted, the men would not agree to this picture. Men always want to be seen as the "good guy" and would probably think this would be a bad interpretation of them. As for the woman, this painting could be eye opening to them.

The main theme of this painting is to adress "modern issues" such as prostitution. Although there are a couple theories to why he painted this picture, it it still very unclear. One of the theories was that the painted what he could have seen on his way back home from school. Either way, his main message was to give people the idea of what prostitution is like and how young women should be outside playing instead of doing what the picture shows.
