"Orpheus, Leading Eurydice Out of Hell, Looks Back Upon Her and Loses Her Forever" is a 1731 engraving by Bernard Picart, a French artist renowned for his mastery in the art of engraving. The work depicts the tragic moment from the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus, having been granted permission to lead his deceased wife Eurydice out of the underworld, succumbs to his desire to look back at her, thus breaking the condition set by Hades for her release and losing her forever.

The engraving is a testament to Picart's skill in capturing emotion and narrative within his compositions. It portrays the instant of Orpheus's fateful glance backward and Eurydice's anguished realization of their impending permanent separation. The artwork is rich in classical iconography and reflects the Baroque sensibilities of the early 18th century, with an emphasis on dramatic tension and the interplay of light and shadow.
