Twee kinderen en een satertje in een landschap 1622 - 1652

"Twee kinderen en een satertje in een landschap" is an etching by Pieter van Avont, created between 1622 and 1652. The image depicts three figures: a young boy and girl, along with a satyr, in a landscape setting. The children are depicted in a playful manner, the girl holding a bunch of grapes while the boy rests his hand on her shoulder. The satyr, with hooves and a tail, crouches in the foreground. The etching is characterized by its fine lines and delicate details, creating a sense of realism. This small etching (127 mm x 94 mm) is part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The playful scene, featuring mythical figures, speaks to the broader Dutch interest in genre scenes and classical mythology.
