Unconscious Rivals by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema

This is Sir Lawrence Alma Tatema, Unconscious Rivals. I love this painting because it has so much romanticism in it. And it starts with Cupid. He's over on the left next to this glorious tree covered in blossoms. And then we have the two unconscious rivals, the two women who seem to be waiting for the same lover. I love the fact that their hands are clutched, they're holding hands, and in those hands, they have the blossoms from that very same tree. It's like they are two women from the same tree. And even though they're rivals and they're unconscious, they're clearly friends in their consciousness.
