"Terpsichore en Erato" is an 1851 lithograph by Julien-Léopold Boilly. The print depicts the Greek Muses Terpsichore, the muse of dance, and Erato, the muse of lyric poetry, flanking a young Cupid who is touching Terpsichore's cloak. The scene is likely inspired by classical mythology and the arts. The artwork is a testament to the beauty and power of art, as well as the enduring influence of classical themes on the Romantic era.
