"First Book: Daphnis Playing His Pipe for Chloe" is a woodcut by Aristide Maillol, possibly created in 1937. This artwork depicts the mythological figures Daphnis and Chloe in a serene scene, with Daphnis playing a pipe for Chloe while they sit under a tree. The red-orange color of the print and the simple lines of the woodcut lend a sense of tranquility to the image, reflecting Maillol's signature style of representing the human form in a simplified yet expressive manner. Maillol is best known for his sculptures and his work often depicts the beauty of the human body in natural settings.
