"Daphne" is an oil painting by American artist Robert Lewis Reid, famous for his portraits and figure paintings. It depicts a nude woman, perhaps Daphne herself, a nymph from Greek mythology who was transformed into a laurel tree to escape the advances of Apollo. Reid's signature loose brushstrokes and warm palette are evident in this work, creating a luminous and ethereal atmosphere. The composition is dynamic, with the figure's relaxed pose and the surrounding foliage filling the frame, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject.
