This painting, typical of the Classical style, depicts a group of figures, including nymphs and a satyr, in a lush, idealized landscape. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony, with the figures arranged in a balanced and symmetrical composition. Poussin's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the figures' anatomy, the folds of their drapery, and the surrounding foliage.
