"Two Young Satyrs and a Boy (copy in reverse)" is an etching created by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1647. The print depicts three satyrs, mythical creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a goat. One satyr plays a pipe, another blows a horn, and the third lies on the ground. The scene is set in a wooded landscape, with a shepherd and his flock in the background. Hollar, a prolific artist, was known for his detailed and realistic etchings. This work exemplifies his mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of classical mythology.
