She is surrounded by purple flowers, the color of royalty, and sits on a golden throne flanked by roaring lions.

She is attempting to bring him under her spell by turning him into a pig, as she already has done with his crew, one of whom lay at her feet. .: Bright white, matte finish .: Set includes 7 cards + envelopes .: Craft paper envelopes included ABOUT THIS ARTWORK "Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses" is an 1891 oil on canvas painting by John William Waterhouse measuring 58.2"H (148cm) x 36.2"W (92cm).
