Prudence and Desire 

"Prudence and Desire" is a painting by Scottish artist Frances Macdonald, known for her contributions to the Glasgow Style. The artwork depicts three figures, two men and a nude woman, suggesting a narrative of temptation and choice. The figures are rendered in a stylized, almost geometric manner, with emphasis on the flowing lines and curves of the composition, highlighting a dynamic interplay between the characters. The muted color palette and stylized forms evoke a sense of dreamlike ambiguity, leaving the interpretation of the narrative to the viewer. This work, created during the early 20th century, exemplifies Macdonald's distinctive style and artistic exploration of symbolism and the human condition.
