This work shows the influence that the Pre-Raphaelite world would have on Vedder after his trip to London in 1870. Narcissus was more than likely done upon the artist's return to Rome in the same year. Little is known of it's prior history as to exhibitions or ownership . At the time of it's execution Vedder was deeply immersed in depicting most of the prominent figures in Greek Mythology.
