Truth Leaving the Well (1898)

Édouard Debat-Ponsan: Truth Leaving the Well

Compare this with Gérôme's painting on the same subject. Interesting differences in the treatment of the same subject: in one Truth is a pissed-off dominatrix, and in this one she's an ingenue apparently falling victim to the first men she meets.
