John William Godward 1861-1922 British A Pompeian Lady Signed and dated "J.W.

To many of the newly affluent, Roman society was, as Iain Gale writes, “a flawless mirror of their own immaculate world.” The sensuality and mystery of Godward’s maidens, combined with his impressive antique backdrops...
