Drawing of a satyr, a girl and goats 1650

This drawing, created in 1650 by Claude Lorrain, depicts a satyr and a young woman in a pastoral setting, surrounded by goats. Lorrain, a renowned landscape painter, is known for his idyllic scenes that often feature mythical figures and animals. This sketch is a study for a larger composition and exemplifies Lorrain's skill in capturing the beauty of nature and the harmony between humans and animals. It is a testament to his masterful use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The drawing is currently housed at the British Museum in London.
