Sater met cimbalen before 1668

"Sater met cimbalen" (Satyr with cymbals) is an etching by Dutch artist Jan de Bisschop, created before 1668. The artwork depicts a satyr from the back, leaning against a rock and holding cymbals. The detailed shading and anatomical accuracy of the figure are characteristic of de Bisschop's style, who was known for his anatomical studies and depictions of the human form. This piece showcases his skill in etching, a technique that uses acid to create lines on a metal plate. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and its small dimensions further enhance the sense of intimacy and detail.
