EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Greek goddess, Hygeia, who symbolizes good health, cleanliness, and sanitation. As the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing, she holds immense significance in Greek mythology. In this classical sculpture from the 2nd century AD, Hygeia is depicted as a graceful woman with a serpent or snake coiled around her arm.

This sleeping figure adds an ethereal touch to the composition while highlighting the importance of rest in maintaining good health.
