Victorian Frederic Leighton was an Aesthetic School painter of history, antiquity, and portraiture, who was knighted and made a peer in recognition of his artistic contribution. Leighton’s portrayal of several women dressed in billowing headscarves and robes is a splendid example of his ability to render the human form and the minute details of fabric.
