An intriguing dancing princess from the time of the ancient Jewish King Herod graces one of the Timken’s galleries. Painted by American artist Ella Ferris Pell, Princess Salome appears pensive and deeply troubled. What has happened to this young girl? Shouldn’t dancing and happiness go together? Join this virtual docent-led talk to explore her tragic historical story and her enduring presence in art history, led by Timken Docent and USD Professor of Biblical Studies Dr. Florence Gillman.
