Oil pastel on paper.
“Who knows not Circe, The daughter of the Sun, whose charmed cup Whoever tasted, lost his upright shape, And downward fell into a groveling swine?”(John Milton, Comus).
One of the most enduringly fascinating women of myth, who delighted in turning men to beasts but was in turn fascinated by Odysseus.
