Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, Strigils and Sponges

Warning!  As the title makes clear, this is a dangerously absorbing puzzle.  If you’re monitoring a nuclear power plant, or driving down the highway at 80 miles an hour, or picnicking with small children on the edge of a cliff—please, save it for later.  Your consent to solve this puzzle constitutes a legal waiver of all right to hold me responsible for any disasters that may ensue as a result of your quadruple absorption.
