and Naomi
Black

recounted in the Old Testament, Naomi and her family fled Bethlehem
to Moab to escape famine. In this drawing she tries to prevent her
daughters Ruth and Oprah from returning with her. The group seems to
have been inspired by classical sculpture, perhaps the famous Niobe
and her Daughters, now in the Uffizi, Florence. |
