Weapons are visible with some othe figures and the expression on Leonidas's face is triumph and determination

The richness of the pale blue dress

This travel-inspired artwork brings a sense of escape to living rooms

The shiny green flask the merchant is holding in one hand contrasts the rich colours of the tiger pelt and the expression on the tanned face of the seller shows innocence and greed at the same time

The Impressionists placed a great deal of value on this method of painting because they wanted to depict how the light changed as the motif was painted

The indistinct application of multiple daubs of colour to depict sky and water and lilies

The composition brings a sense of cultural reverence and serene symbolism into interiors that value faith

agitated brushstrokes that follow a repeated

here and there

and sophistication in one delightful package

It was created during highs and lows

In the winter of 1887
