Description
Photograph of the painting "Greek Girls Playing Ball" by Sir Frederick Leighton, [s.d.]. Two women in billowing greek dress stand on what appears to be a tall marble pedastal with the open inlet and a bank of land visible in the background. The girl in the foreground to the right appears to be finishing the follow-through of her throw, while in the girl to the left leans back to catch the ball, which remains in mid-air. Fruits and cloth appear to be on the ground at their feet.
