This is an etching or engraving that portrays a scene from classical mythology. The image shows a young man, likely Narcissus, kneeling by a body of water, enraptured by his own reflection. He is depicted in a pastoral setting with trees and foliage around him. A dog is by his side, looking up at him, and there's a figure in the background that seems to be observing the scene from a distance, amidst the trees.

Below the image, there's text that is likely in French, given the characters and language style. The text contains the name "Narcisse," which is the French term for "Narcissus," suggesting this image is indeed depicting the myth of Narcissus, a figure known for his beauty and his fixation with his own reflection. The text looks like an excerpt with a decorative heart symbol at the bottom.

Given the age and style of the image, it appears to be from an old publication, possibly a book of myths or stories from classical antiquity. It captures the moment Narcissus falls in love with his own image, an act that, according to myth, eventually leads to his demise.
