Head Of A Girl, Atalanta 1902

"Head of a Girl, Atalanta" is an oil painting by John William Godward, a British artist renowned for his portrayal of classical beauty. Created in 1902, the work showcases Godward's signature style, employing soft, realistic brushstrokes and vibrant colors to depict a young woman draped in luxurious fabrics. The subject's gaze, serene yet alluring, is accentuated by the golden and turquoise hues of her attire, evoking a sense of timeless elegance and beauty. Godward's paintings often featured mythological themes and figures, and this portrait captures the essence of a classical heroine, perhaps inspired by the legendary huntress Atalanta.
