Description
The Danaides by John William Waterhouse gathers several women around a large metal basin. One woman at the left lifts a vessel above her head, while another bends to pour water into the bowl. A third figure stands behind them, and more women remain visible at the right. Their draped garments circle the basin and fill much of the vertical scene. The vessel at the center is broad and dark, with water spilling over its rim toward the floor. This hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction of The Danaides by John William Waterhouse is made for display.
