Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

According to the expert on the works of John William Godward, Dr. Vern G. Swanson, this painting is probably a study for the 1908 oil An Egyptian Minstrel, sold by Messrs. Eugene Cremetti, London in 1908. It depicts a standing semi-nude slave girl playing a long-necked lute, and is technically similar to other small oil studies for other Godward paintings.
