About the piece

Lucien Simon's 1915 oil painting 'Nausicaa' captures a moment from Homer's Odyssey with a modern, painterly sensibility. The composition features a group of women in light-filled classical drapery washing linens in a stream against a rugged coastal backdrop, accompanied by sturdy horses and a wooden cart.
