Description
The Household Gods by John William Waterhouse shows two women working beside a household shrine or hearth. A standing woman reaches over the built-in structure at left, while another kneels near a shallow tray at the bottom of the scene. The room is dim, and its rough walls and shelving occupy much of the background. A pale garment catches the light near the center, separating the standing figure from the darker setting. The product is a hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction of The Household Gods by John William Waterhouse.
