Image description

Josiah Wedgwood commissioned this as a tribute to female loyalty and industry. In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope, awaiting the return of her husband Odysseus from the Trojan War, was beset by suitors who claimed he had been shipwrecked. She promised to marry when she completed a shroud for her father-in-law. Steadfastly loyal, Penelope unraveled her weaving at the end of each day. Their son Telemachus sleeps beside a statue of his father.
