Summary

Idleness .*oil on canvas .*111 x 73 cm .*signed b.l.: J. W. Godward 1900

John William Godward (1861 –1922) was an English painter from the end of the Neo-Classicist era. He was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting fell out of favor with the rise of modern art. He committed suicide at the age of 61 and is said to have written in his suicide note that "the world is not big enough for me and a Picasso".
