The Crystal Ball 1902
by John William Waterhouse
The painting shows a young woman in a red dress gazing into the ball, apparently weaving a spell with the aid of a book and a skull. We can also see the influence of the Italian Renaissance with vertical and horizontal lines, along with circles "rather than the pointed arches of the Gothic".
