Émile Prisse d'Avennes' "Histoire de l'art égyptien," published in 1878, includes depictions of various aspects of ancient Egyptian art and culture. In the case of the Androsphinx and Criosphinx, these are likely depictions of the sphinx with different characteristics. The Androsphinx typically has a human head (often of a Pharaoh) on a lion's body, while the Criosphinx features a ram's head on a lion's body. Sphinxes were prevalent in ancient Egyptian art and mythology, often serving as guardians or symbolic figures.
