The Sorcerer’s Slave 1877

"The Sorcerer's Slave" (1877) by Thomas Wilmer Dewing depicts a young, nude male figure standing in a dimly lit room, his gaze cast downward. He holds a bunch of leaves in his left hand, with his right hand resting on a stone wall. The scene evokes a sense of mystery, and the figure's posture suggests vulnerability and submission, hinting at the title's narrative. Dewing's signature, "T.W. Dewing 1877," is visible in the bottom right corner of the painting.
