John William Godward’s ‘Mischief and Repose’ (1895) depicts two women in diaphanous robes inspired by ancient Greek attire. They are set against a marble backdrop, one reclining seductively while the other playfully disturbs her with a dress pin. The artwork captures the serene yet untouchable nature of its subjects, akin to statues.
