About This Item
A Terracotta glazed artwork: 8 1/2" x 11" etched by Quentin Bell. A portrait of a young lady dressed in an odalisque pose with beautiful black, greens and black glazes.
The woman "Europa" lounging on a bull. It relates to the Greek myth of Europa and the Bull but more pertinently Europa (and her Bull) have a strong symbolic relevance for Europe (it takes its name from her). This design would very likely have been done by Bell around the time of the first European Referendum, in 1975, after which England joined the E.U:
