EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Pygmalion, 1851" by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece depicts the mythical story of Pygmalion, a renowned sculptor who falls in love with his own creation.

It beautifully captures the religious and mythological themes prevalent during that era, featuring a cherubin-like figure adoringly looking up at Pygmalion's sculpture.

The play of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting every intricate detail of the sculpture.
