Original early 19th-century copperplate engraving by Tommaso Piroli (1752–1824), published in Paris in 1805 in Antiquités d’Herculanum, Tome IV: Bronzes, by Francesco and Pietro Piranesi.
Plate XXIV records an ancient bronze bust traditionally identified as Sappho of Mytilene, the celebrated Greek poet. The accompanying original text states that the bronze was discovered at Resina (Herculaneum) in 1758.
