[1] In Ovid's version of the myth, Narcissus was the beautiful son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope.

Her prayers were heard by the goddess Nemesis who caused Narcissus to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

The nymph Echo sits nearby across the stream, clasping a tree with her right hand, gazing at Narcissus in despair.

Near her grow some yellow flag irises, Iris pseudacorus, and she wears a red poppy in her auburn hair.

It forms part of the Victorian collection in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, having been purchased by the museum in 1903.
