Two Satyrs Fighting about a Nymph

Albrecht Altdorfer after Marcantonio Raimondi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three nude figures in a complex and textured environment. The figures are intertwined, with one holding a club above its head. Another figure is supporting a third with draped hair. The background is filled with detailed foliage, creating depth without shading. The composition suggests a dramatic scene reminiscent of early Renaissance or late Medieval art.
