Classical Drapery

Frederic_Leighton_-_Melittion_-_1927-2-1_-_Auckland_Art_Gallery.jpg

Melittion, 1882 by Frederic Lord Leighton.

Although this figure is dressed in the classical style, a clear reference to a Greek character could not be found. In a play from 1818 by Austrian Franz Grillparzer called Sappho there is a character called Melitta, who vies with Sappho for the love of the young man Phaon.
