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 Mischief And Repose
"Mischief And Repose" by John William Godward is a famous painting by the artist. Missing for half a century, Mischief and Repose, represents an important re-discovery in Godward's oeuvre and belongs amongst the finest examples of the artist's work. Painted in 1909, it was not the first time that Godward had produced a work with this title. He first used it in 1895 portraying two Roman maidens instead of one. The reclining beauty in the earlier version, is reminiscent of the girl in the present lot, and the poses and compositions echo each other. Each figure wears a diaphanous blue dress, loosely bound by silk ties, and luxuriously reclines on a tiger skin, their right hands behind their heads and elbows facing upwards.
