The painting depicts the most famous priestess of Delphi, Pythia herself. John Collier captured her according to ancient myths. A concentrated Pythia sits on a tall tripod. From a crack in the ground beneath her, intoxicating vapors emerge, which put the fortune teller into a trance from which she delivered her ambiguous prophecies. In his left hand he holds sprigs of laurel, Apollo's sacred tree. He holds a bowl of water in his other hand.

John Maler Collier (1850-1934). A major English painter painting in pre-Raphaelite style. In his time, he was one of the most important portraitists. Only portraits are known from his work: he painted former elites and ordinary people of England. He used clear and bright colours, and the brush strokes in his paintings are almost invisible. Most of his paintings can be found in the London National Portrait Gallery.
