"Nymph of Fontainebleau" is an anonymous etching from the 16th century, depicting a nude woman, perhaps a nymph, lounging amidst a group of animals. The work was likely inspired by the natural beauty of the Fontainebleau forest, a popular destination for artists during the Renaissance. The artist uses fine lines to create a sense of naturalism and detail in the woman's figure and the surrounding foliage. The etching is held at The Art Institute of Chicago.
