Sculptuur van een faun 1646 - 1670

This etching by Flemish artist Hubert Quellinus depicts a classical sculpture of a faun, a mythical creature with the legs and ears of a goat and the upper body of a man. The faun is shown from the waist up, wearing a drapery that falls over his shoulder. This artwork is a study of light and shadow, creating depth and dimension within the flat medium of the etching. The faun is a popular subject in classical mythology and art, representing nature and the wild. This artwork is a fine example of the work of Hubert Quellinus, a prolific artist of the Dutch Golden Age.
