Study for The Favourites of the Emperor Honorius
The Favourites of the Emperor Honorius is a painting by John William Waterhouse completed in 1883.[1] The painting depicts Honorius feeding birds which are on the rug in front of him; the dark colours of the rug and his clothes define a space. Separated from him and the birds are the councillors seeking his attention, and who along with the attendant are dressed in paler shades.[2]
The Favourites of the Emperor Honorius is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia, which also owns Waterhouse's 1892 Circe Invidiosa.[3]
