oil on masonite

painting is 12 x 12”

From a gallery in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,

a woman enjoys a quiet November afternoon

viewing artworks.  in the foreground is

William Wetmore Story’s marble sculpture

of the greek lyrist “Sappho”. 

Sappho spent most of her life studying the arts on the island of Lesbos and innovated lyric poetry both in style and technique.  She wrote about the vantage point of the individual, the private world of women - rather than the traditional point of

view of gods and muses.
