This etching by Stefano della Bella, titled *A female satyr breastfeeding an child to the right, turned towards the left, a satyr child on the ground to the left, from 'Landscapes and seaports' (Paysages et ports de mer, dans des ronds)* (1639), depicts a female satyr breastfeeding a young satyr child while another satyr child sits on the ground, looking on. The scene is set in a forest with a rocky cliff in the background, and is a circular composition. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures. This etching was part of a series of prints of landscapes and seascapes with the addition of fantastical figures.
