John William Waterhouse - Oil

Listening to His Sweet Pipings (1911) is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse. As so often with the artist's work at this date, the picture belongs to a series in which he explored different aspects of a theme, in this case that of spring. The series extended over several years, going back to the early 1900s, including the Boreas of 1904, and reaching a climax in two pictures shown at the Royal Academy in 1913, A Song of Springtime and Narcissus, both of which joined this picture in Alex Henderson's collection. Listening to my Sweet Pipings is not entirely characteristic of the series in that the main figure is reclining, but cousins of the putto playing the pan-pipes appear in A Song of Springtime, the only two occasions on which the motif occurs in these paintings.
