The artwork titled “Golden Hours” is a portrait created by John William Godward in 1913. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Neoclassical art movement and is currently part of a private collection.
The artwork features a young woman seated in an outdoor setting, framed within a tondo or circular format. She is depicted wearing classical attire, a pink robe with red accents, contrasted by a golden yellow drapery. The woman holds a fan above her head, partially shading her face, and gazes directly at the viewer with a serene expression. Behind her, the composition reveals a tranquil Mediterranean landscape, complete with cypress trees and distant mountains under a clear, blue sky. The attention to detail, the harmonious color palette, and the classical theme are characteristic of Godward’s meticulous style and his adherence to Neoclassical ideals.
