About the piece

Created in 1866, this oil on walnut panel by Swiss artist Arnold Böcklin depicts a nymph, often identified as Flora, beside a mountain spring. The figure is captured in a graceful back view, partially draped in translucent fabric and clutching a horn of plenty, embodying the atmospheric and evocative qualities of the Symbolist movement.
