Landschap met de nimf Corsica en de satyr 1640s

Bartholomeus Breenbergh's "Landschap met de nimf Corsica en de satyr," a brown wash drawing created in the 1640s, depicts a classical scene with a nymph, a satyr, and a small child in a wooded landscape. The composition is dominated by the large tree at the right, casting a shadow over the figures. The nymph is seated on the ground, her hand resting on the head of the child, while the satyr looks up at the sky with a thoughtful expression. In the distance, a small figure is seen walking towards the horizon. The drawing's delicate washes capture the atmosphere of the woodland setting, creating a sense of quiet contemplation. Breenbergh is known for his landscapes and drawings, and this work is typical of his style, showcasing a masterful use of light and shadow, and meticulous detail.
