Sculptuur van een knielende Cyparissus before 1848

This lithograph, *Sculptuur van een knielende Cyparissus*, is a depiction of the mythological figure Cyparissus, a young man who was transformed into a cypress tree after accidentally killing a sacred stag. Louis-Joseph Isnard Desjardins, a French sculptor, produced this work before 1848, showcasing his mastery of neoclassical style, evident in the figure's idealized form and the precise rendering of details. This print captures the grief and sorrow of Cyparissus, highlighting the powerful narrative of the myth in a beautifully rendered form. The print is a fine example of lithographic art, with its delicate lines and tonal values conveying depth and texture.
