Feste de Diane, Troublee par des Satyres (Feast of Diana Disrupted by Satyrs)

Claude Gillot

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a scene featuring nymphs and satyrs in a forested landscape. The detailed line work and shading depict a group of nymphs gathered around a central statue or altar. Satyrs approach from the edges of the scene, with a background of lush vegetation. An inscription at the bottom offers a narrative context for the scene.
