Photograph of a statue of Ganymede and Zeus in his guise as an eagle by Ferdinand Schlöth. It depicts Ganymede as a seated young man wearing a Phrygian cap, with the eagle perched next to him. Ganymede holds up a bowl in one hand from which the eagle is about to drink, and with his other hand, he holds a jug. A label with Schlöth's name can be seen on the base of the statue.
