oil paint (paint), h 104cm × w 131cm More details
A laughing satyr leans forward over a nymph as he touches her face affectionately, while the nymph is tugging at his beard. Gerrit van Honthorst painted the two mythological figures in the foreground of the composition, drawing attention away from the woods in the background and the view receding into the distance.
