"Thisbe" is a Pre-Raphaelite painting by John William Waterhouse depicting the character from the Roman myth of Pyramus and Thisbe. Thisbe, a beautiful young woman, is shown in a richly decorated room, her hand pressed against the wall as she listens intently. Her red gown, intricately patterned, is a vibrant contrast to the cool blue and green hues of the surrounding tiles and walls. The composition emphasizes her vulnerability and the dramatic suspense of the story. Waterhouse's painting captures the tragic romance of the myth through its delicate details and evocative atmosphere.
