This photograph, taken sometime between 1875 and 1900, captures a marble sculpture by J. Loroy depicting a figure believed to be Terpsichore, the muse of dance and lyric poetry, seated with a lyre and a young child. The child, likely representing music or a specific musical instrument, plays a flute, adding another dimension to the themes of art and music present in the sculpture. This piece exemplifies the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century, showcasing classical themes through the medium of sculpture.
