Pavonia by Frederic Leighton : 

"Pavonia" by Frederic Leighton is a portrait of a woman, possibly a model named Nanna, with a single peacock feather. The title, referencing the Italian word for peacock, hints at a connection between the woman's beauty and the bird's. It's a small oil painting from 1859 in a realistic style.

Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) was a prominent British Victorian artist. He created paintings and sculptures, often depicting historical or classical themes in a realistic style. Leighton achieved great recognition in his lifetime, even becoming the first British painter to be knighted.
