Study For Nymphs Finding The Head Of Orpheus 

"Study For Nymphs Finding The Head Of Orpheus" is an oil painting study by John William Waterhouse, a prominent Pre-Raphaelite artist. The painting portrays the severed head of the legendary musician Orpheus floating in a river, a reference to the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. This study captures the poignant moment of discovery, foreshadowing the full painting's depiction of nymphs finding the head. Waterhouse's signature style is evident in the detail and emotional depth of the scene.
