Woman with dark hair in a green patterned gown holds a green bowl above green water, liquid pouring down, with a coiled creature in the water and brown rocks behind her.

Circe Invidiosa

A woman with dark hair stands barefoot in green water, holding a shallow green bowl high in both hands while liquid pours from it into the sea. Her dark green gown with peacock-like patterns falls around her, and a coiled serpent-like shape rises in the water at the lower right against dark brown rocks and trees.

Español: Circe Invidiosa de John William Waterhouse, 1892

Una mujer de cabello oscuro está descalza en agua verde, sosteniendo en alto con ambas manos un recipiente poco profundo de color verde, del que cae un líquido hacia el mar. Su vestido verde oscuro con patrones semejantes a plumas de pavo real cae a su alrededor, y a la derecha una forma enroscada parecida a una serpiente emerge del agua, junto a rocas y árboles oscuros.

Português: Circe Invidiosa de John William Waterhouse, 1892

Uma mulher de cabelo escuro está descalça em água verde, segurando um recipiente raso verde no alto com as duas mãos, enquanto um líquido escorre dele em direção ao mar. Seu vestido verde-escuro, com padrões semelhantes a penas de pavão, cai ao seu redor, e à direita uma forma enrolada, parecida com uma serpente, surge da água diante de rochas e árvores escuras.
