Date: 1903 Medium: oil on canvas Location: Walker Art Gallery, National Museums Liverpool
The painting depicts a scene from ancient mythology with two figures by a stream. A woman is standing on the bank, dressed in a long pink robe, leaning on a staff, watching a man lying opposite her, stretched over a rock, wearing a red cloak. The man watches his reflection in the still water. The surrounding landscape is serene with massive trees and flowing water glistening against the sky. The scene has a calming effect with rich details of plants and textures.

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). English painter known for his paintings of female figures from classical mythology. Among his most famous paintings is Ophelia shortly before her death braiding flowers in her hair (although the painting is from 1888, it was lost for a long time until found again). Waterhouse had planned to paint a whole series of paintings with the motif of Ophelia, but serious illness - cancer - did not allow him to finish his work. His canvas motif, The Temptation of Miranda, is also worth mentioning. A classical motif is also his Narcis, viewing his reflection in the water.
