"Narcissus" is a study created in 1912 by the British Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse. This work is a preparatory sketch for a larger, more detailed painting, reflecting Waterhouse's fascination with themes from ancient mythology and literature, which he often depicted with a romantic and dreamlike aesthetic. The study portrays the figure of Narcissus, a character from Greek mythology who was known for his extraordinary beauty and his tragic fate of falling in love with his own reflection.

In this study, Waterhouse captures the moment of Narcissus's enchantment as he gazes into the water, entranced by his own image. The artist's use of delicate brushwork and subtle coloration in the study suggests the ephemeral nature of beauty and the fleeting moment of self-recognition. Although the study is less well-known than some of Waterhouse's major works, it provides insight into his artistic process and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through his art.

The 1912 study of "Narcissus" is an example of Waterhouse's continued engagement with mythological subjects throughout his career. It reflects the enduring influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's principles, including a focus on nature, detail, and vivid color, long after the movement's initial period. As with many of Waterhouse's pieces, the exact location of the "Narcissus" study is not widely publicized, and it may be held in a private collection or an institution with restricted access to the public. The study remains a testament to Waterhouse's skill in exploring timeless themes through the lens of Victorian sensibilities.
