"Third Book: Daphnis and Chloe in Dryas' House" (Daphnis et Chloe dans la maison de Dryas) is a wood-engraving by Aristide Maillol, possibly created in 1937. The work depicts a scene from the ancient Greek novel *Daphnis and Chloe*. The composition is focused on four figures: Daphnis and Chloe, along with a young woman and an older man. The simplified lines and geometric shapes are typical of Maillol's style, which drew inspiration from classical sculpture and ancient Greek art.
