Monochrome lithograph of a nude woman reaching up into a leafy vine in a wooded landscape, with a hill in the distance.

Erigone, ensnared by Dionysus, reaching for grapes on a vine. Lithograph by B.-R. Julien, 1835, after L. Poyet.

A nude woman stands in a wooded landscape, one arm raised to pluck grapes from overhanging vines, her body turned toward the viewer while she glances aside. Soft tonal shading in a monochrome lithograph gives the foliage and hillside a dreamy depth. The caption "Erigone" appears at the bottom of the sheet.

Español: Erigone alcanzando uvas de una vid, litografía, 1835

Una mujer desnuda está de pie en un paisaje boscoso, con un brazo levantado para tomar uvas de una vid que cuelga sobre ella, el cuerpo girado hacia el espectador y la mirada desviada. El sombreado tonal suave de esta litografía monocroma da profundidad al follaje y a la colina. La leyenda "Erigone" aparece en la parte inferior de la hoja.
