Phryne and the Slave is a 1910 watercolor by Flint, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman standing in a room holding a jug, with a small table nearby holding a vase and fruit. Behind her, a man lies on a couch with a pillow and blanket. The walls have a simple border of geometric shapes at the top. The scene looks like a quiet moment in a home, with everyday objects and a relaxed pose. The colors are soft and flat, with no deep shadows. Look up Flint next to see more of this artist’s work.
The watercolour on linen titled *Phryne and the Slave* from 1910 shows Phryne reclining in profile on a bed, dressed in a yellow cap and a white robe while a nude female slave stands at the foot of the bed, holding a slender jug, a bowl, and a white cloth. A table beside the bed displays a larger water vessel or amphora alongside a bowl of fruit, possibly citrus.
