About the piece

Created by Albert Joseph Moore in 1875, this oil study for 'Beads' exemplifies the Aesthetic Movement's focus on visual harmony and beauty. The composition features two women in classically inspired drapery reclining on a sofa, surrounded by decorative objects like vases and a fan, all bathed in a luminous, gentle light.
