"Amaryllis en Myrtillo" is a pen and brown wash drawing on paper by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop, created sometime between 1648 and 1671. The artwork depicts a scene with multiple figures, likely a mythological story of the nymph Amaryllis and her love for the shepherd Myrtillo. The drawing features rich detail and a complex composition, characteristic of de Bisschop's style. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, this drawing offers a glimpse into the artistic practices of a prolific 17th-century Dutch artist.
