"Erato," a bronze sculpture by François Girardon, depicts the Greek Muse of lyric poetry. Created between 1675 and 1705, the bust showcases the artist's mastery of classical form and refined detail. Erato is adorned with a wreath of roses, symbolizing her association with love and beauty, and her delicate features evoke a sense of quiet contemplation. The sculpture's rich patina and the subtle variations in the bronze's surface contribute to its overall elegance.
