Five dying or dead young men, dressed in full black armour without their helmets, are lying in a ditch. Alongside them is a procession of Roman goddesses bearing their attributes. Juno is accompanied by two peacocks; Minerva wears a helmet and breastplate and is carrying a spear; a nude Venus is accompanied by doves and winged cherubs; Ceres is shown with a sheaf of corn on her shoulder and a sickle at her waist; her daughter, Proserpina, is pale after years spent underground; Flora is scattering flowers; Diana is with two greyhounds; Iris holds her arms aloft, and Hebe pours wine into a goblet. The artist specialised in allegorical painting. She had a studio opposite Leighton House in Holland Park, London. She taught at the school of her friend Byam Shaw from its foundation in 1911.
