"Waternimf Garga" is an engraving by Philips Galle from 1587, depicting a nude water nymph pouring water from a large jar. The nymph is standing on a stone platform and is holding flowers in her other hand. The detailed depiction of the nymph's form and the flowing water creates a sense of movement and beauty. This artwork is a prime example of the Renaissance style, which emphasized human form and naturalism in art. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
