Love Votaries - Famous Art work & Drawing by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

This beautiful painting by Sir Lawrence once again portrays the lazy lifestyle of the ladies belonging to the patrician cult. They do not have any qualms about making servants do everything involving burning of calories.

The picture shows a lady in dark attire lying on a bed near a fountain with a fragrance bottle at her side. An attendant is near her. The lady on the bed is perhaps expecting her lover. The sea in blue, is visible in the background. This picture of expectant love done in 1891 as oil on canvas by Sir Lawrence is at Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
