Woman and goat
1877 - 1903
Lawrence Alma-Tadema, usually famous for his hyper-detailed paintings of ancient Romans lounging on marble, shows a looser, sketchier side in this charming circular composition. A woman in classical drapery strides alongside a shaggy, long-horned goat, her veil billowing dramatically overhead as if caught in a sudden Mediterranean breeze. Printed in The Hague, this lithograph captures a playful, pastoral moment that feels like a quick study for a larger classical scene, proving that even the most serious academic artists enjoyed a bit of rustic whimsy.
