Description:
Scarce photogravuer of Pygmalion a young sculptor from Cyprus. He was a misogynist and scorned the company of women,instead he devoted his time, ironically enough, to a statue of a woman he named Galatea. He worked so long and with such inspiration on this statue, that it became more beautiful than any maiden that had ever lived or been carved in stone.
