Description
The Golden Bowl represents the last flowering of Pre-Raphaelitism, painted well into the twentieth century in 1955 almost a hundred years after Rossetti had painted similar luscious depictions of exotically attired maidens in richly ornamented costumes. Here, an un-named maiden of an renaissance-type holds aloft a bowl of votive fruit, inviting the beholder to take one from her.
