Pfft! I knew this one was going to be a challenge, but I couldn't resist giving it a bash. Apologies as usual to the original artist, in this case Arnold Böcklin. I think I need to apologise to Myfanwy too. Not her best look.

"Myfanwy with Friend Playing the Fiddle"
With appropriate apologies to Arnold Böcklin

Ah. No last minute rush to the "no" option then 😆
So. Here you go. I feel the piece has drifted away from a portrayal of Apollo & Daphne or Orpheus & Eurydice & has drifted into a critique of the fashion world forcing hens into unreasonable body shapes. The level of squishing to get a rotund chicken into that dress 😮
And let's not get started on the stretching of wings required to achieve the embrace. smh
Vitruvian Chicken & Friend
Sometimes I have an idea and I know, deep down, that I should wait and do it properly but instead I let it burst out in a slap dash splat.
This is one of those ideas.
Myfanwy as Flora, goddess of spring and flowers. Oh aye.
Apologies as appropriate to Rembrandt and Saskia.
Perhaps not practically perfect in *every* way, but I've not had time to make much recently & this was fun.
Thanks to @sheepnik for the idea. The responsibility, as ever, remains my own
Me: Oooh, I haven't done a Myfanwy & Friend for a while. That would be a nice change. I could put the call out on Mastodon for suggested artworks, book covers or posters to parody.
Also me: I need to post a picture if I'm asking for suggestions for pictures.
I am aware this makes NO SENSE, however when I had a quick look for new films I found this monstrosity so, that's a thing.
Anyway, taking suggestions for new #MyfanwyAndFriend pics below. Thanks!

Self-portrait at an Easel.
Welcome to Tuesday, a multi-layered knitted nonsense day, apparently.
