Nympho in the Olympia, Etienne Dumaige, France in the 19th century

A sculptural representation of a nymph sitting on a plinth.

The young woman is shown wearing a long robe and shoulder bracelets. Highly pinned hair reveals the back with tiny wings.

The girl surreptitiously pours ambrosia into the goblet. He glances over his shoulder, fearful of the perceptiveness of the host of Olympus, giving his weekly feasts for all gods and goddesses.
