100 Rs
John William Godward (9 August 1861 – 13 December 1922) was an English painter from the end of the Neo-Classicist era.
Godward was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting fell out of favour with the arrival of painters such as Picasso. He committed suicide at the age of 61 and is said to have written in his suicide note that "The world is not big enough for myself and a Picasso".
The vast majority of Godward's extant images feature women in Classical dress, posed against these landscape features.

About A Siesta, 1895
The painting depicts a typically, sumptuous vision of classical antiquity from English neoclassical painter John William Godward (1861-1922), featuring a beautiful young woman in a diaphanous dress asleep on leopard skin and tiger skin throws, a backdrop of veined marble providing an additional note of piquancy to the already extravagant classicism-meets-Orientalism mix.
