Bacchante en jonge faun 1733 - 1806

This etching, "Bacchante en jonge faun", created by Johann Rudolph Holzhalb between 1733 and 1806, depicts a bacchante, a female follower of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, and a young faun. The figures are depicted in a pastoral landscape, likely inspired by classical mythology. The etching is characterized by a delicate line and the careful rendering of the figures and the landscape. This small, intricately detailed work, measuring 108 mm high and 70 mm wide, is a testament to the skill and artistic talent of Holzhalb, who specialized in printmaking and etching.
