"A Favorite Custom" is an oil painting by the Dutch-born British artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, completed in 1909. Renowned for his depictions of luxury and decadence in the ancient world, Alma-Tadema's work often reflects his fascination with the Roman Empire. This painting is no exception, as it portrays a scene of ancient Roman daily life with his characteristic attention to detail and historical accuracy.

The artwork features a group of Roman women luxuriating in the marble surroundings of a public bath, a common leisure activity among the Roman elite. The composition is carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, with the figures arranged in a manner that showcases Alma-Tadema's skill in rendering textures, from the translucent quality of water to the intricate mosaics and the softness of the women's skin.

Measuring 45.7 x 62.2 cm, "A Favorite Custom" is a testament to Alma-Tadema's mastery of light, color, and perspective, which he uses to evoke a sense of opulence and serenity. The painting is also notable for its historical verisimilitude; Alma-Tadema was known for his extensive research and use of archaeological findings to inform his work, resulting in a portrayal that resonates with authenticity.

"A Favorite Custom" was well-received in its time and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and historical representation. The painting is part of Alma-Tadema's celebrated body of work that contributed to his reputation as one of the most distinguished Victorian classical-subject painters. It remains a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its contribution to the visual understanding of ancient Roman culture.
