Answer

Elongated: Burne-Jones' figures are distinguished by their elongated proportions, often characterized by long, graceful limbs, elongated necks, and attenuated features. This distinctive aesthetic, influenced by both medieval art and the Pre-Raphaelite movement, conveyed a sense of elegance, ethereal beauty, and otherworldliness, becoming a defining feature of his artistic style.
