En satyr med fløjte og en ung pige, siddende i en skov 1840s

"En satyr med fløjte og en ung pige, siddende i en skov" (A satyr with a flute and a young girl sitting in a forest) is a pencil drawing by Danish artist Dankvart Dreyer (1816-1852) from the 1840s, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The drawing depicts a satyr, a creature from classical mythology with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a goat, playing a flute while seated next to a young girl. The scene is set in a forest, with trees and foliage surrounding the figures. The drawing is characterized by Dreyer’s loose, expressive style, which gives a sense of movement and spontaneity. It is a fine example of the artist's exploration of classical themes in a romantic and naturalistic manner.
