This etching by Jean Mignon, a French artist active in the 16th century, depicts a satyr with twisted legs. The satyr is shown standing on a pedestal with a lion's head, holding a basket of fruit overhead. The twisted legs are a common motif in satyr imagery, representing the creature's wild and unpredictable nature. This work is an excellent example of the artist's skill in etching, with intricate details and a strong sense of realism. The image is set against a background of a bridge and a wall, which further enhances the sense of depth and perspective. This print would have appealed to a wide audience interested in classical mythology and the art of etching.
