Hesperia (by Frank Dicksee) Tile

This design features a painting by the English Victorian artist Frank Dicksee (1853–1928). It shows Hesperia, one of the nymphs in ancient Greek mythology, who were goddesses of evening and the golden light of sunsets. In the myth, Hesperia guards golden apples growing from a special tree. Hesperia is depicted here as a beautiful woman wearing a long contemporary red dress. She is standing in an elegant guardian. The original artwork was painted by Frank Dicksee in 1887.
