Silver Favourites - Famous Art work & Drawing by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

In this painting too Sir Lawrence has projected the ‘easygoing’ lives of the aristocracy, notably the females. The moneylender was very much a part of the Italian scene. Usury was a regular phenomenon. High income from interest accruals made the rich lazy and indulgent.

The marble work shows the setting to be in Italy.

Two girls are relaxing and looking at silver colored fish in a small pond. A girl is standing with a container of fish food probably. She drops some of this into the water for the fish assembled there. This painting of Sir Lawrence dates to 1903 and is oil on panel kept now in the City of Manchester Art Galleries, Manchester,UK.
