Clytemnestra

Artist: Frederic Leighton
Artwork: Clytemnestra
Description: This is a preparatory drawing for Leighton’s 1882 painting of Clytemnestra. The drawing is in black and white chalk on brown paper. It shows Clytemnestra, the queen of Argos, standing with her arms outstretched. She is wearing a long dress and a headdress. The drawing is a study for the painting, and it shows Leighton’s skill in capturing the figure and movement of his subjects.
