This woodcut print by Aristide Maillol, titled *Fifth Eclogue: A Shepherd Carving Verse on Daphnes' Funeral Mound (Le tombeau de Daphnis)*, depicts a shepherd carving verse on a large stone. The setting is a wooded area, with a large tree on the left, its branches framing the scene. The shepherd is seated and facing the viewer, giving the scene a sense of timeless simplicity. The scene is a visual representation of a classic Greek myth, making this a great example of Maillol's interest in ancient Greek art and literature.
