Believed to be the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy, Paris is often depicted as a victorious athlete, symbolizing strength and triumph.

Created in 1787 for the Museum de Florence's collection, David meticulously drew and engraved illustrations based on Roman statues, engraved stones, and medals.
