Satyr with Twisted Legs

Jean Mignon

National Gallery of Art

There is a drawing of a mythical figure. The central figure has a human torso and a goat head with horns and a beard. The figure stands on a twisted column with decorative elements like a lion mask at the base. The figure holds a bowl or platter on its head with botanical elements spilling over. On each side, there are hanging shields with animal faces. The background shows a stone archway and wall. The drawing has intricate details and a mystical tone, similar to Renaissance artwork.
