"Sater door nimfen aan een boom vastgebonden" is an etching created by Gerard de Lairesse in 1685. This artwork depicts a scene from classical mythology where a satyr is tied to a tree by nymphs. The dramatic composition is typical of the Baroque period, characterized by dynamic figures and strong contrasts of light and shadow. The etching's detailed lines capture the nuanced emotions of the characters, with the satyr's expression conveying both pain and defiance. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, where it remains a testament to de Lairesse's mastery of the etching technique and his understanding of classical mythology.
