Unconscious Rivals - Famous Art work & Drawing by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

In the Roman period probably, open love life amongst the nobles was the trend. Their lady folk seem to have nothing else to do.

The two ladies in this painting by Sir Lawrence are probably in love with the same man. While one seems to close her eyes and enjoying some inward bliss the other seems to be pining for him to come. Themes involving lovers have been done in plenty by Sir Lawrence as evidenced in the vast collection in various museums.

This picture was done as Oil on Panel in 1893 and is to be seen at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, Bristol, UK.
