Nymphs Listening to the Songs of Orpheus by Charles François Jalabert, 1855. Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland.The natural grotto, and fresh, flowing water in this painting, are classical characteristics of nymphaeum. Note, too, the recline postures of the nymphs, which is reminiscent of the depictions of nymphs on ancient Roman reliefs. -- source link
