John Reinhard Weguelin (1849-1927) was a Victorian artist and illustrator active between about 1870-1900.
He interpreted the neo-classical style of Edward Poynter and Lawrence Alma-Tadema in watercolour.
He specialized in this medium in the 1890s, a technically interesting, but financially dubious decision: however, he supplemented his income by illustrating translations of classical texts, such as the Lays of Ancient Rome by Lord Macaulay.
The picture Lesbia[1] later became the inspiration of the fashion story "Flights of Fantasy" produced in 2008.
