Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, 1881 - The Siesta - fine art print

Artwork description from the museum (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

A young Roman woman dressed in a striped tunic plays a two-reeded flute, her feet near a table on which rests a basket and roses. Four men lie behind her on cushions under windows, listening or dozing, with a view of a temple in the distance. The print is based on an oil on panel painting of 1873 (Opus CXII). In the latter, the girl wears an elaborate apparatus around her head to support the flute; this is simplified in the print to a cap attached to a cloth over her mouth.
