Hebé

About this work

This image shows a woman with wings holding a cup while pouring liquid from a jug. Her back is turned, and she wears a draped cloth over one shoulder. The lines are smooth but detailed, focusing on her curves and flowing fabric. The title "Hébé" suggests she might be a figure from mythology, often linked to youth and immortality. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, which is typical of engraving techniques. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Chaponnier created such precise prints.
