"Telemachus stort in zee" is a 1732 etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart (1673-1733). The etching depicts a scene from the Greek epic poem *The Odyssey*, where the character Telemachus falls into the sea, with his mentor Mentor reaching out to save him. This black and white print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The dynamic composition, detailed rendering, and dramatic scene make this print a significant example of Picart's work.
