EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the enchanting trio of Euphrosyne, Thalia, and Aglaea, the Graces personifying joy, festivities, and beauty in Greek mythology. The image, engraved by Jacques Louis Constant Lacerf after illustrations by Leonard Defraine, is taken from 'Mythology in Prints, or Figures of Fabled Gods,' published by Blanchard in Paris around 1820. Euphrosyne, the eldest Grace, is shown holding a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. Her gentle smile and graceful pose radiate an aura of joy and contentment. Thalia, the Grace of festivities, is depicted holding a thyrsus, a staff adorned with ivy and a pinecone, which was a symbol of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. Her lively expression and playful gesture convey the essence of merriment and celebration. Aglaea, the youngest Grace, embodies the essence of beauty. She is shown holding an apple, a symbol of love and desire, and her radiant smile and elegant pose exude an air of captivating allure. The sisters' harmonious presence together represents the perfect balance of joy, beauty, and merriment. The intricate details of the engraving are brought to life by the delicate handcoloring, which adds depth and vibrancy to the image. The classical motifs and mythological subjects in the print reflect the enduring fascination with Greek and Roman mythology and its rich history. This work of art is a testament to the timeless beauty and allure of the Graces and their role in mythology.
