La Seine reçoit dans ses bras l’enfant que les dieux lui confient 1800

"La Seine receives in her arms the child that the gods entrust to her" is a black and white drawing by French artist Pierre-Paul Prud'hon, created in 1800. The drawing depicts the Seine River personified as a woman receiving a baby from a winged figure, possibly representing the gods, in a scene that evokes classical mythology and the power of nature. This work showcases Prud'hon's skill in depicting the human form and conveying a sense of delicate beauty and divine power.
