Aesop Sculpture Group by Henrich Möller

1900?  Copy of a 19th-century line engraving of Aesop with two younger figures.  Sculpture by Karl Heinrich Möller, who died in 1882. Image 7" x 8".  Page 10.2" x 13.8".  Unknown source.

The depiction was apparently inspired by the ancient bust thought to represent Aesop at the Villa Albani, Rome.  The image is available on Wikimedia Commons.  This conception of Aesop is not the more frequent medieval view of a misshapen human being.
