The scene shows Apollo leaning over a sculpture as the Spirit of Sculpture watches intently. The etching, completed between 1607 and 1661, is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and is a fine example of the French Baroque style, known for its dramatic use of light and shadow and its emphasis on movement.
