"Lachrymae" is a renowned oil painting by the eminent British artist Lord Frederick Leighton, completed in 1894-1895, which stands as one of his most poignant and evocative works. The painting, whose title is derived from the Latin word for "tears," is an embodiment of Leighton's mature period and reflects the Victorian fascination with themes of beauty, melancholy, and classical antiquity.

The artwork depicts a solitary female figure, draped in flowing classical garments, leaning against a tree trunk with her head bowed in a gesture of sorrow or deep contemplation. The somber mood is accentuated by the subdued color palette and the presence of a lyre at the figure's feet, suggesting the abandonment of music and joy. The background, a hazy and indistinct landscape, further contributes to the atmosphere of introspection and loss.

Leighton's mastery of form and his ability to convey emotion through posture and expression are evident in "Lachrymae." The painting's composition and the use of light and shadow demonstrate his classical training and his affiliation with the academic art tradition, while also hinting at the emergent symbolist movement that sought to express the ineffable and the psychological through art.

"Lachrymae" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1895, the year of Leighton's death, and it has since been recognized as a significant work within his oeuvre, encapsulating the aesthetic ideals and cultural preoccupations of the late Victorian era. The painting is held in a private collection, but it continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and its poignant reflection of human emotion.
