Prosperine is a renowned marble sculpture created by the American neoclassical sculptor Hiram Powers. Completed in 1844, the work exemplifies Powers' mastery in capturing the delicate beauty and serene expression characteristic of neoclassical art. The sculpture depicts Proserpina (or Persephone), the Roman goddess of the underworld and the daughter of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. This mythological figure is often associated with themes of rebirth and the changing seasons, as her story is central to the ancient myth explaining the cycle of growth and decay in nature.

Powers' Prosperine is notable for its exquisite attention to detail and lifelike representation. The sculpture portrays the goddess with a calm and contemplative expression, her head slightly tilted and her eyes gazing downward. Her hair is intricately carved, cascading in soft waves that frame her face, and she is adorned with a delicate wreath of flowers, symbolizing her connection to nature and the earth's fertility. The smooth, polished surface of the marble enhances the ethereal quality of the figure, making it appear almost lifelike.

The creation of Prosperine marked a significant point in Powers' career, solidifying his reputation as one of the leading sculptors of his time. The work was highly praised for its technical excellence and emotional depth, and it contributed to Powers' international acclaim. Prosperine was exhibited widely and became a popular subject for reproductions, further spreading Powers' influence and the appreciation of neoclassical sculpture.

Today, Prosperine is celebrated as a masterpiece of 19th-century American sculpture, reflecting the neoclassical ideals of beauty, harmony, and classical inspiration. It remains an important work in the study of American art history and continues to be admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
