The Sorceress (Waterhouse)

The Sorceress is an oil-on-canvas painting by the English artist John William Waterhouse completed between 1911 and 1915.

[1] The inclusion of leopards and the loom offer further evidence that the painting is of Circe.

For the final scene, Circe is depicted as a redhead.
