This woodcut, "First Book: Chloe Puts a Chaplet Upon Daphnis' Head" (Chloe met une couronne sur le tete de Daphnis), is a work by renowned French sculptor Aristide Maillol, dating back to possibly 1937. The artwork depicts two figures - Chloe, the woman placing a wreath on Daphnis' head. This piece captures a moment of intimacy and reverence, a theme prevalent in Maillol's artistic style. The simplicity of the lines and the figures' rounded forms contribute to the overall sense of calm and harmony. The presence of a small goat in the foreground adds a touch of rustic charm and reinforces the theme of pastoral life.
