This etching, "Pan et Natura" by Richard Collin from 1677, depicts the Greek god Pan embracing a female figure, symbolizing nature. The striking use of light and shadow, typical of Baroque etching, lends a dramatic and evocative quality to the scene. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Collin's skill in capturing the essence of mythology through the art of printmaking.
