A painting titled Erato, Muse of Lyrical Poetry by Charles Meynier. A woman sits on a grassy mound. She has fair skin and brown hair styled up. She wears a pink dress. She holds a lyre. Beside her stands a naked man with fair skin. He holds one of her white wings with one hand and a quill with the other. The pair sit on the bank of a body of water. A basket with flowers beside them. A harp stands to their left. Trees fill the background. A blue sky on the right.
