'Hébé'

A photograph of a work by Ary Scheffer, the prime version of which was created around 1849. The image depicts the ancient Greek goddess Hebe in full-length, semi-draped and leaning against a cloud. She holds a chalice in right hand and an ewer in left hand, whilst gazing at an eagle (Jupiter) that perches on top of a cloud, to the right.

Ary Scheffer (and his studio) continued throughout his life to produce new works of old compositions on demand. His paintings were also widely reproduced as etchings.
