Lilith ( 1892)
John Maler Collier (1850-1934) - Pre-Raphaelite art movement
Location: The Atkinson Art Gallery, Southport, England

Lilith finally is painted adorned by the Snake, the very symbolic element associated with the Mesopotamia Goddess. She’s enjoying the contact with the morbid skin of the Snake, and she seems to completely rely upon her fascinating attitude, which could bound every man at her feet with the same luscious strength of the snake…” http://www.szecesszio.com/2009/11/09/john-collier-27-january-1850-11-april-1934/
