I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The image caption only indicates this is a painting titled "Pandora" by John William Waterhouse from 1896, but provides no information about what Pandora is (the mythological figure, concept, or artwork itself) or why it matters. To write an accurate, fact-based overview, I would need additional context about the subject.

thumb|Pandora by John William Waterhouse, 1896
In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first human woman created by Hephaestus on the instructions of Zeus. As Hesiod related it, each god cooperated by giving her unique gifts. Her other name—inscribed against her figure on a white-ground kylix in the British Museum—is Anesidora.
