Faun and nymph 1888

Hans Thoma's "Faun and Nymph" (1888) depicts a scene of nature and innocence. The faun, with his flute and goat legs, stands amongst deer in a wooded landscape, playing music. A nymph, clad in a pink robe, is seated in the foreground, cradling a small child. The composition emphasizes the contrasting figures of the faun and the nymph, creating a harmonious balance between wild and civilized. This artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, demonstrates Thoma's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world and the human condition.
