• The Transformation: Below the water’s surface, the shadowy form of Scylla can already be seen distorting, highlighting Waterhouse's mastery of transparency and light.

• The Style: This piece perfectly embodies the Pre-Raphaelite and Neo-Classical blend, featuring romanticized beauty mixed with tragic, classical themes.
