Poster inspired by a beautiful portrait by British Neo-Classicist artist John William Godward (Lycinna, 1918) Lycinna was the first love of the Roman elegiac poet Sextus Propertius and also a maid in the house of her love-rival Cynthia. She is modestly dressed in violet and seen against a marble wall which display Godward's wonderful ability to paint stone. (Sotheby's)
