This evocative Neoclassical tableau, inspired by Alexandre Cabanel’s “Phèdre,” captures the tragic heroine in a moment of anguished stillness. Draped languidly upon a Grecian bed, Phaedra’s pale form glows against the shadowed backdrop, her gaze distant and haunted by forbidden desire and moral collapse. The opulence of the setting—ornate furniture, rich fabrics, and soft torchlight—contrasts with the emotional desolation etched across every gesture. The attendants, one collapsed in grief, the other pleading, heighten the psychological tension of the scene. It is a haunting meditation on love, guilt, and the fragile human psyche rendered in classical form.
