1798
unspecified
From the collection of Kunsthaus Zürich
The Daughters of Pandareos is a 1798 unspecified by Henry Fuseli, a British Romanticism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a scene with three women, one of whom is seated while the others stand beside her. The seated woman is dressed in a flowing robe, and the standing figures are partially draped. In the foreground, two figures lie on the ground, one of whom appears to be deceased. A quiet detail in the painting is the subtle use of shading to create depth and dimensionality. The artist's use of light and shadow adds a sense of drama to the scene. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
