This red chalk drawing by Annibale Carracci, titled *Satyr and Goat*, depicts a satyr embracing a goat. The drawing, likely a study for a larger work, demonstrates Carracci's mastery of anatomy and composition. The satyr's musculature and the goat's fur are rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing Carracci's interest in classical sculpture and his ability to capture the nuances of form. The drawing's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and volume, adding to the overall realism of the depiction. Created after 1600, this piece is an example of Carracci's late style, characterized by a refined and elegant approach to drawing.
