EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating glimpse into the world of ancient Greek mythology, this 19th-century print beautifully captures Penelope, the faithful wife of Odysseus, surrounded by her attendants. The scene unfolds in Penelope's private chambers as she sits on a regal chair diligently working on a thread. Her focused expression reveals her unwavering dedication to her craft. Intriguing details come to life within this illustration; one servant takes away a mirror while another brings fresh cloth for Penelope's work. The fillet above signifies the intimate setting of these chambers, where only trusted individuals are allowed entry. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Corsi is based on an original vase from Sir William Hamilton's esteemed collection.
