"The Satyr and His Wife" is a black and white engraving attributed to Agostino Carracci, a renowned Italian artist of the late Renaissance. The engraving depicts a satyr with goat-like legs and a human torso, embracing a woman in a landscape setting. This piece, likely inspired by classical mythology, explores the theme of human-animal hybridity, a subject that fascinated Carracci and other artists of the time. It is a fine example of Carracci's skillful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and realism.
