John William Waterhouse, "Circe offering the Cup to Ulysses" (1891)

This warmer version is nice, especially since her apparel is more informative. No idea which is closer to the original, although a TinEye search reveals that most internet versions resemble the Wikimedia version above. But it's not always the case the wikis are correct, as we've seen with at least one Pissarro, The Boulevard Montmartre at Night, and a few Van Goghs: Lane with Poplars, Still Life with Scabiosa and Ranunculus, and Flying Fox. Although I didn't include one of the bad comparisons on that last one, Google it. Almost all the results are wrong. The one I posted was from the Van Gogh Museum.
