About the piece

Painted in 1875 by Victorian master Albert Joseph Moore, 'Beads' exemplifies the Aesthetic Movement's pursuit of 'art for art's sake.' The composition focuses on the rhythmic arrangement of color and form, as two women rest in translucent robes within an elegantly patterned interior, balanced by classical vases and a discarded fan.
