Beautiful 18th century drawing in sepia, this material used on paper gives it a lot of charm.
This drawing represents a satyr tied to a tree by two loves for a game but the worried look of the satyr lets us predict a rather unflattering entertainment, it could be a reprise, an interpretation on the theme of the torture of Marsyas.
In the undergrowth appear two young women dressed and coiffed in the antique style, perhaps nymphs or muses.
good condition apart from a few small stains due to age appearing on the mat in particular.
