EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, we are introduced to the mythical figure of Psyche, beautifully depicted by artist Henry Meyer. Standing outdoors amidst a picturesque setting, Psyche exudes an ethereal charm that is both enchanting and serene. Her delicate features and flowing hair adorned with a stylish hairband evoke a sense of elegance and grace. With one hand delicately holding an intricately designed casket, Psyche's other hand gently cradles a vibrant butterfly. The juxtaposition of these two elements symbolizes her connection to nature and the spiritual realm. As she gazes away into the distance, it seems as though she is lost in contemplation or perhaps seeking answers from the world around her. The color palette chosen by Meyer adds depth and richness to this portrait, enhancing its timeless beauty. Every detail has been meticulously engraved, showcasing Meyer's mastery as an artist. This print was featured in The Connoisseur Vol. XXIV magazine published by Otto Limited in London back in 1909. Preserved through time, it serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical mythology and artistic craftsmanship. As we admire this exquisite portrayal of Psyche, we are transported back to the romanticism of the 19th century - an era where mythological figures like her captivated imaginations and inspired countless works of art.
