"Ariadne 1898" by Waterhouse depicts the gorgeous princess from Greek mythology lying on a lavender sofa dressed in a red dress with a partially exposed breast and leopards lying peacefully around her. She is positioned beside a balcony overlooking the waters of Crete. The rich colour schemes of pink, lavender, yellow, grey and black along with the fine detail come together to create a stunning work of art with deep themes of Romanticism.
