  • “Priestess of Delphi,” an 1891 painting by John Collier. A woman in a brown dress, with her face partially shadowed by a red fabric hair covering, sits on a tall stool over a crack in the earth below her, from which visible fumes are rising. She holds a shallow bowl in her right hand and a laurel branch in her left.
