"Second Book: Daphnis and Chloe Playing (Daphnis poursuivant Chloe)" is a simple line drawing by French sculptor Aristide Maillol, created in 1937. This work captures a moment of play between Daphnis and Chloe, characters from the ancient Greek romance novel by Longus, depicting them in an idealized, nude form.

It showcases Maillol's commitment to the simplicity and beauty of the human form, presenting a delicate and harmonious interaction between Daphnis and Chloe.
