Pygmalion and the Image: The Hand Refrains, 1878

Edward Burne-Jones, 1833-1898

oil on canvas

Here, Pygmalion completes his sculpture of a
beautiful female nude and draws back, almost
in awe of what he has made. Struck by its
beauty and confused by his feelings of attraction,
he begins to fall in love with his creation.
