"Daphnis droomt over drie nimfen" (Daphnis Dreams of Three Nymphs), created in 1800 by Jean Godefroy, is a Neoclassical engraving. The work depicts the Greek mythological figure Daphnis asleep on a bed, dreaming of three nymphs who are approaching him from the right side of the composition. The artwork showcases Godefroy's mastery of detail and chiaroscuro, creating a sense of drama and mystery around Daphnis’s slumber. This engraving, measuring 329 mm in height and 250 mm in width, is a prime example of Godefroy's contributions to the neoclassical movement in art.
