A Satyr Uncovering a Nymph 

This bronze plaquette by Andrea Briosco, also known as Riccio, depicts a satyr uncovering a nymph. The scene is filled with movement, the satyr reaching out to pull away the drapery that covers the nymph, while she recoils in surprise. The plaquette is a fine example of Riccio's work, known for its intricate detail and expressive figures. It was likely created for a private collection, and reflects the growing interest in classical mythology during the Renaissance. The piece is also a testament to the skill of the bronze caster, who achieved a remarkably smooth and polished finish.
