A satyr, two women, a lion and a goat 16th century

This 16th-century pen drawing, attributed to an anonymous artist, depicts a satyr, two women, a lion and a goat. The drawing, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases the artist’s skillful use of line to create a sense of movement and depth in the figures. The satyr, a mythical creature with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a goat, is the central figure in the composition. The two women, one of whom appears to be holding a spear, and the animals add to the drawing’s sense of mythology and drama. The piece serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with classical mythology in Renaissance art.
