In Clytemnestra (Collier), how is the Second version discussed?
Around 1914, Collier painted a second version of the scene, correcting many of the details of the Mycenaean period. The second painting depicts a bare-breasted Clytemnestra with a bloody Mycenaean sword. Many details are different, including the decoration of the floor, and doorway. Clytemnestra wears a long skirt based on Minoan discoveries, replacing the robe in the 1882 version, and the column from the Treasury of Atreus has been put up the right way. It measures 238 cm × 147.8 cm (93.7 in × 58.2 in), and is held by Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum.
