"Pandora" is an oil painting by Henrietta Rae (1859–1928), a British artist known for her classical and allegorical works. Created in 1896, the painting depicts the moment in Greek mythology when Pandora, the first woman on Earth, opens the forbidden box (or jar, according to some sources), thereby releasing all the evils into the world, leaving only hope inside. Rae's interpretation of this pivotal moment is rich in symbolism and reflects the Victorian fascination with mythological subjects, as well as the period's attitudes towards femininity and knowledge.

The painting shows Pandora as a central figure draped in flowing robes, with an expression of innocent curiosity as she gazes into the box. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of her attire and the surrounding elements, are characteristic of Rae's style, which combined academic classical composition with a Pre-Raphaelite attention to detail and color. "Pandora" is a prime example of Rae's work during a period when female artists were beginning to gain recognition, and it showcases her skill in portraying the female form with both idealization and psychological depth.

Henrietta Rae's "Pandora" has been exhibited in various galleries and has garnered attention for its artistic merit and its place within the context of late 19th-century British art. The painting is also significant for its representation of a powerful female figure from mythology, a subject that Rae often returned to in her career. As a notable work by Henrietta Rae, "Pandora" continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its reflection of the cultural and artistic themes of its time.
