Twee terracotta sculpturen van Diana en Proserpina before 1857

This 19th century photograph captures two terracotta sculptures by Marcel Gustave Laverdet, depicting the figures of Diana and Proserpina. The figures are depicted in a standing pose, their dress and features reflecting the classical style popular during the era. The photograph, likely a record of the sculptures, showcases their detailed craftsmanship and the artist's skill in capturing the essence of these mythological figures. The image provides a glimpse into the artistic practices of the 19th century, particularly the enduring fascination with classical mythology and the use of terracotta as a medium for artistic expression.
