Hide and Seek

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema|Leopold Löwenstam|Thomas McLean

1891 · Etching on tissue; remarque proof · Drawings and Prints

In the gardens of the Villa Albani near Rome, a girl (perhaps the gardener's daughter) sits at the top of a classical staircase and holds one finger to her lips. A hooded youth stands below and leans in as though he has just discovered her. Behind is an expansive terraced garden with a figure on one of the paths. Terms on tall pillars mark the top of the staircase. The print is based on an oil on canvas of 1876 now at the Salar Jung Museum, Hyderabad.
