"Pandora" is an oil painting by the French artist Jules Joseph Lefebvre, created in 1882. Lefebvre, known for his figure paintings, was a prominent figure in French academic painting during the late 19th century. The painting depicts the mythological figure Pandora, who, according to Greek mythology, was the first woman on Earth. The myth states that she was endowed with gifts from the gods and given a box (or jar) which she was instructed not to open. However, her curiosity led her to open the container, thereby releasing all the evils of humanity into the world, leaving only hope inside once she had closed it again.

In Lefebvre's interpretation, Pandora is portrayed at the moment of temptation, just before opening the infamous box. The work captures the tension and anticipation of the pivotal moment in the myth. Lefebvre's mastery of form and his skillful use of light and shadow are evident in the painting, which showcases his academic style and his focus on the beauty of the female form.

"Pandora" is a testament to Lefebvre's reputation as a painter of sensuous and idealized women, a theme that recurs throughout his oeuvre. The painting is often noted for its fine detail, rich color palette, and the emotional depth conveyed by Pandora's expression. It reflects the 19th-century academic art movement's values of technical precision, narrative clarity, and classical themes.

The painting has been exhibited in various art institutions and has been part of private and public collections since its creation. As a work by Lefebvre, "Pandora" contributes to the understanding of the academic tradition and its interpretation of classical mythology during the period, offering insight into the cultural and artistic values of the time.
