Photograph of "Cephale et Procris" or "Cephalus and Procris," a statue by Joseph Marius Ramus. It depicts the mythological Greek hero, Cephalus, supporting his dying wife, Procris, in his arms. Engraved on the base of the statue are the words, "CEPHALE ET PROCRIS." Below the statue is a darkened square area, possibly a label that was obscured in the negative.
