" Lilith " by John Collier on

Mentioned in numerous poems and myths, Lilith, the first wife of Adam in Judaic folklore, was a fiery woman and the allegorical embodiment of femininity. In an exotic garden the ravishing Lilith stands cloaked only in her luxurious hair and encircling her lush radiant body are elegantly entwined serpents. Collier was a prominent portrait painter that included Royal peers, Rudyard Kipling, biblical and political figures. A Pre-Raphaelite in style with a surprising sense of colour and light, Collier studied painting at the Munich Academy and was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. This replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
