    Study For The Head Of Venus In The Awakening Of Adonis

    John William Waterhouse (British, 1849-1917)

    Venus gazes downward, her expression caught between longing and sorrow. Loose strands frame her face as shadows play across delicate features. The study pulses with quiet intensity—a goddess’s yearning distilled into brushstrokes. Myth lingers in every curve, every half-lidded glance toward an unseen Adonis.
