This print showcases a study for the renowned painting "Phyllis and Demophoon" by John William Waterhouse, created around 1907. The image, captured from an outdoors perspective, offers a side view of a striking female figure immersed in deep contemplation.

Her profile reveals long flowing hair adorned with subtle makeup and lipstick, enhancing her ethereal appearance. This composition transports us back to the early 20th century when cosmetics were gaining popularity as symbols of femininity and self-expression.

Originally featured in The Studio Volume 53 publication from London Offices of the Studio in 1911, this print is now preserved by The Print Collector29.
