"Perilla" is a painting by the British neoclassical artist John William Godward (1861–1922), known for his depictions of classical antiquity with a particular focus on themes of leisure and the beauty of women. Created in 1908, this work exemplifies Godward's meticulous attention to detail, his fascination with the textures of marble and fabrics, and his portrayal of serene, contemplative figures.

The painting features a young woman in classical drapery, seated against a backdrop of richly veined marble, a recurring motif in Godward's work. The title "Perilla" refers to the woman's name, which is of Latin origin, suggesting that the subject may be an idealized figure from ancient Rome or Greece. Her pose and expression convey a sense of introspection and tranquility, which is characteristic of Godward's style.

"Perilla" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Godward to achieve the high level of finish and detail for which he was renowned. The artist's palette is typically soft and harmonious, with a predominance of warm tones that complement the subject's complexion and the marble setting.

As with many of Godward's paintings, "Perilla" reflects the influence of the Victorian fascination with the classical world, as well as the Aesthetic Movement's emphasis on beauty and sensuousness. Godward's work, including "Perilla," was well-received during his lifetime, although it fell out of favor in the years following his death, overshadowed by the rise of Modernism. However, his paintings have since experienced a resurgence in appreciation, with "Perilla" being a fine example of his contribution to the late Victorian classical revival in British art.

The painting is part of a private collection, and its dimensions, provenance, and exhibition history contribute to its significance in the oeuvre of John William Godward. "Perilla" continues to be studied for its technical mastery and as an artifact of its cultural and historical context.
