A girl in Roman dress in the shrubbery looks towards the studio of Tademas grand house at 34 Grove End Road, St Johns Wood, as if expecting the artist to come out and join her. Perhaps it is the figure of Laura, Tademas wife, who had died two years previously. The statue of Hermes Fastening his Sandal also looks for him.

The Garden of Alma-Tademas House, 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edith Ridley Corbet that exudes an eerie and haunting atmosphere. The image depicts a young girl dressed in Roman attire standing amidst the lush shrubbery, her gaze fixed towards the grand studio of Lawrence Alma-Tadema's house. It is as if she anticipates the artist's presence, yearning for his company. This sense of expectancy is intensified by the statue of Hermes Fastening his Sandal, symbolizing boundaries between mortal and divine realms. Painted just a year before Tadema's death while he was unwell, this artwork carries an air of melancholy and longing. Perhaps it represents Laura, Tadema's deceased wife who passed away two years prior. The garden itself emanates tranquility and beauty with its picturesque foliage and neoclassical sculptures. Located at 34 Grove End Road in St Johns Wood, London, Tadema's grand house serves as the backdrop to this evocative scene. The painting transports us to an idyllic Edwardian era where famous artists like Alma-Tadema himself resided. Corbet masterfully captures both the serenity and foreboding within this composition through her skillful use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into a world where time stands still – a moment frozen in history that invites contemplation on life’s transience and our connection to both earthly existence and ethereal realms beyond.
