Summary:As the potion wears off, young Tom sees the girl he bedded more clearly, and is horrified. Artist's Notes: I used the art of Egon Schiele and Harmen Jansz Muller . Schiele is well known for his disturbing and emaciated nudes. Muller is a 16th c engraver, about whom I found very little on the web. I have a wonderful ' Joseph & Potiphar's wife' engraving in a book, that gave me this composition. This theme shows the man fleeing the temptation of woman's clutches. A serious danger, as we all know. ( Where Are You Going, My Love? )
