At the Shrine of Venus
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema|Gebbie & Husson Company, Ltd.
ca. 1889 · Photogravure · Drawings and Prints
The interior of a Roman hairdresser with two young women relaxing on a bench, one looking at herself in a mirror as the other rests her mirror on the cushion. At left, a third woman enters, unveils and prepares to place a marigold at the shrine on the black marble table. A crowd outside is glimpsed through an arched opening. The print is based on a painting exhibited at the Royal Academy now at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
