about Cephale tue par Megarde sa Femme Procris from Les Metamorphoses (Bloch 112)
Bending over the fallen figure of his wife Procris, Cephalus leans forward with his arm raised as he holds his bow against his torso.
Linear and minimalistic, this work depicts the scene of murder from the French opera "Céphale et Procris", during which the main character kills his wife when mistaking her for an animal.
