EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases a study of "Phyllis and Demophoon" by the renowned artist John William Waterhouse, dating back to c1897. The image, featured in The Studio Volume 41 from London Offices of the Studio in 1907, offers a side view of a melancholic female figure immersed in deep contemplation. The subject's profile reveals her long flowing hair cascading down her shoulders, adding an ethereal touch to her overall appearance. Her expression reflects profound sadness as she gazes downwards, lost in thought. This evocative portrayal captures both the beauty and vulnerability of women during this era. Waterhouse's inspiration for this piece stems from Greek mythology, where Phyllis is depicted as a tragic character. Through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail, he brings forth the essence of Phyllis' sorrowful narrative. Published within the pages of Studio Publications and curated by The Print Collector29, this nineteenth-century portrait serves as a testament to Waterhouse's artistic prowess and enduring legacy. It invites viewers into an introspective journey through time while showcasing the intricate artistry that defined this period.
