FIG. 47. George Woodall's Andromache, 1902.
Andromache was the wife of Hector, son of
King Priam of Troy. In Homer's Iliad, all of
Andromache's relatives died during or immediately
after the capture of Troy by the Greeks.
Andromache herself was taken prisoner and
given to Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, who
took her back to his home in Epirus. The plaque
is inscribed "ANDROMACHE" at the bottom of
the frame, and it is signed "Geo. Woodall" on
the pavement. The panel, completed in October
1902, was sold in February 1917.
