"Dolce Far Niente" is a painting by the British artist John William Godward. It depicts a young woman, likely a classical goddess or nymph, reclining on a marble ledge with a leopard skin. Her relaxed posture and languid gaze, epitomize the Italian phrase "dolce far niente" which translates to "the sweetness of doing nothing". The painting is characteristic of Godward's work, which often featured beautiful women in Classical settings, inspired by Ancient Greek and Roman art. Godward was known for his meticulous detail and soft, romantic style.
