This 1937 woodcut by French artist Aristide Maillol, titled "Daphnis en Chloë leiden een bok als offer aan Pan", depicts a scene from the Greek pastoral romance "Daphnis and Chloe". The image showcases two figures, Daphnis and Chloe, leading a goat as an offering to the god Pan, a reference to the story's setting in the Arcadian countryside. This drawing demonstrates Maillol's artistic interests in the human figure, as well as the simplicity and beauty of ancient Greek art. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
