This artwork, possibly from 1937, is a drawing by renowned French sculptor Aristide Maillol. The piece depicts two figures in a close embrace, likely Chloe and Daphnis, the protagonists in the ancient Greek pastoral romance by Longus. Maillol's work often explored themes of classical mythology and the beauty of the human form, exemplified in this simple yet expressive outline drawing.
