Notes

Español: En esta pintura al óleo J.M. Collier nos presenta a una joven y hermosa Lilith. Un ser de formas sinuosas, de pecaminosa sensualidad que palmo a palmo nos muestra su tez blanca, su rojiza y abundante melena. Desnuda en la soledad del bosque y con un gesto erótico abraza a la serpiente, parece querer fundirse con ella, la joven deja que el reptil rodee todo su cuerpo y tape su sexo, en su gesto parece alcanzar el éxtasis. La composición del cuadro es vertical, perteneciente al estilo prerrafaelino observamos como en el cuadro la figura destaca sobre los tonos oscuros empleados en el fondo.
