"Ganymede, Leaning on an Eagle, Receiving the Cup from Hebe" is an etching and engraving created by Benoît Louis Henriquez in 1786. The artwork depicts the Greek myth of Ganymede, a Trojan prince, being carried away by Zeus in the form of an eagle to serve as cupbearer to the gods on Mount Olympus. The image features a detailed depiction of Ganymede, the eagle, and figures of Hebe and other gods in the clouds. This artwork, which is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, known for its emphasis on classical themes and motifs, and the use of line and form to create a sense of clarity and order.
