This sketch shows three figures in a rocky, outdoor setting. A man in a red-and-purple tunic with a helmet stands next to a woman in a long blue dress. She holds a child’s hand while looking down, and the child wears a blue head covering. Behind them, a wagon and some trees are faintly drawn. The artist focused on loose, sketchy lines and soft colors, giving it a dreamy feel. The title hints at a story from ancient Greece, but the figures look more like Victorian-era clothing. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works by this artist.
