Satyr with Two Pipes and Putto and Woman Taking Drink from Tree n.d.

This drawing by Giulio Romano, a prominent artist of the High Renaissance, depicts a satyr, a putto, and a woman in a fantastical setting. The satyr, a mythical creature with the legs and horns of a goat, plays a pipe while a putto, or winged cherub, holds another pipe. A woman, draped in flowing fabric, reaches for a drink from a tree branch. The scene is set atop a grotesque, lion-like head, adding to the whimsical nature of the work. This drawing is an example of Romano's masterful skill in capturing movement and expression through line.
