EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the poignant moment of Dido, Queen of Carthage, preparing for her tragic demise after being abandoned by Aeneas. The artist, Alfred Wallis Mills, skillfully brings to life this iconic scene from ancient mythology. Dressed in regal attire within the confines of her grand palace, Dido exudes an air of sorrow and despair. Her eyes reflect a profound sadness as she contemplates her impending fate. Surrounding her are loyal attendants who offer solace and support during this harrowing time.
