Philips Galle's 1587 engraving, *Waternimf Ambracia*, depicts a nude female figure standing in a landscape. The nymph, identified by the inscription, holds flowers in her left hand and looks toward a small boat in a distant lake. This detailed engraving highlights the artistic skill of Galle, a Flemish artist who was known for his numerous engravings, and showcases a typical subject of the Renaissance era. The artwork currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
