"Half-dressed Nymph with two children, surrounded by four men" is an etching by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created between 1738 and 1755. It depicts a nymph, partially clothed, surrounded by four men and two children. The scene is set in a landscape with a background of trees and ruins, suggesting a mythological or allegorical theme. The etching exemplifies Tiepolo's mastery of line and detail, capturing the movement and energy of the figures with a graceful and expressive style. The work is part of a series of etchings known as the Scherzi, which showcase Tiepolo's playful and imaginative approach to art.
