"Nota bene" is an etching by Danish artist H.L.S. Winding, created in 1787. The work depicts a satyr-like figure with horns standing in a forest, looking at a sign with various symbols engraved on it. The scene is reminiscent of a moral fable, highlighting the importance of paying attention to warnings and signs. "Nota bene" is a Latin phrase meaning "Note well," adding to the symbolic nature of the artwork. This etching is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
