Echo and Narcissus is an oil painting, created in 1903 by Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. The painting illustrate the poem Echo and Narcissus by Ovid.
Echo was a nymph. She was in love with Narcissus but he became so enamoured with his own reflection in a stream that he became fixated on the image, and wasted away through unrequited love.[1]
