This engraving, *Oeuvres de Jean Racine*, is a depiction of a scene from the play *Iphigénie* by the French playwright Jean Racine, who lived from 1639 to 1699. The print portrays the characters Achilles, Iphigénie, and a goddess, possibly Iris. The artwork was created in 1801 and is a beautiful example of the artistic style of the time. It's currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The print is a fine example of the Neoclassical movement in art and its emphasis on the beauty and the power of the human form.
