Seated on a curved marble bench, a woman reclines at ease among poppies and oleanders, gazing out over the calm blue sea. Her soft pink robe and laurel crown evoke Arcadian ideals—harmony, leisure, and timeless beauty. Godward, a student of classical revival, captured these neoclassical visions with exacting clarity and a poetic sense of space. The setting suggests not just historical imagination, but the eternal longing for peace and balance found in mythic pasts and sunlit gardens.
