    Standing awkwardly at the edge of the uncomfortably large fire they had insisted on starting, he was sure they were on some sort of suicide mission. They were oddly nonchalant about his existence.

    painting belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection and is on display in the American Wing in the gallery of Images of Woman from 1880 to 1910. I selected this painting because the colour contrast of the pink dress against the dark background caught my eye. I also found the expression of the young woman to be interesting.

Myths involving the Amazons even sometimes have versions of the same myth with different Amazon warriors, making it difficult to understand what Amazon women is associated with the certain myth.
