This engraving, "Plate 7: Psyche attended in her bath by nymphs," is part of a series depicting the "The Fable of Cupid and Psyche" by Agostino Veneziano. Created between 1515 and 1525, the print shows a scene of the goddess Psyche being attended by nymphs in a bath. The artist's use of line and detail creates a sense of realism and intimacy, while the setting of a bath evokes a sense of sensuality and purity. The inscription at the bottom of the image includes text in Italian, likely excerpts from the myth. Agostino Veneziano, an Italian artist known for his engravings, captures the essence of the myth in this piece. This artwork is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
