"A Classical Beauty In Profile" is a painting by John William Godward, completed in 1888. The oil painting depicts a young woman in profile, dressed in a golden gown and red headdress, against a backdrop of marble and foliage. Godward, known for his Pre-Raphaelite style, masterfully captured the beauty of classical antiquity, employing rich colors and precise detail to create a sense of timelessness. The work's careful composition and idealized subject matter evoke the Roman and Greek ideals of beauty, making it a compelling example of academic art.
