Description
Coloured engraving after L'Allegro by William Edward Frost inspired by lines 11 to16 of the poem L'Allegro by John Milton. The Three Graces from Greek mythology are led in dance by the nymph Euphrosyne, who personifies joy or mirth, playing a tambourine. She is accompanied by her sisters, Aglaia representing elegance and Thalia, embodying youth and beauty. They were the daughters of Zeus and came to symbolise pagan beauty.
