Painting by Lawrence Alma–Tadema
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unconscious Rivals is an oil painting by the Dutch artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema, from 1893.[1] The artist settled in Britain and became a member of the Royal Academy. Like a number of his works it is set in Ancient Rome. Two attractive women wait in the luxurious setting of a Villa, presumably for a man who they are both unconscious rivals for.[2]
