"A Persian Princess" is an oil painting created by British artist John William Godward in 1898. Godward is known for his depiction of women in classical settings, often drawing inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome. This work features a beautiful young woman adorned with a golden crown, her gaze directed toward the viewer. The painting evokes a sense of mystery and sensuality, drawing the viewer into the world of ancient Persia. The artist's meticulous attention to detail in the woman's features and attire is characteristic of his style, often labelled as "Pre-Raphaelite" or "Academic."
