"Second Eclogue: Corydon Sees Himself in a Pool (Corydon se mirant dans l'eau)" is a simple line drawing by Aristide Maillol, possibly dating to 1926. The artwork depicts a nude figure kneeling and looking down at a pool of water, referencing a scene from the "Eclogues" by Virgil. This work embodies Maillol's signature style of simplification and the rendering of the human form in a classical, idealized manner.
