Pyrallis 1918

"Pyrallis" (1918) is a painting by the British artist John William Godward, known for his Pre-Raphaelite style and idealized depictions of women. The painting features a young woman draped in a pink shawl, her eyes closed in a moment of contemplation. Godward's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the soft folds of the shawl and the delicate features of the woman's face. The background is a lush landscape with a view of water, lending a sense of tranquility to the scene. The piece embodies the Pre-Raphaelite interest in beauty, nature, and romanticism.
