Silenus Accompanied by a Satyr and a Faun

Executed as a woodcut on laid paper, the image relies on bold, incised lines and minimal shading to define form. The sharp contours and stark contrasts typical of the medium generate a dynamic sense of movement, while the simplified tonal range highlights the figures’ tangled bodies against the rugged forest floor.

Created in the early seventeenth century, the work reflects Jegher’s engagement with Northern European printmaking traditions. Although specific ownership records are scarce, the piece is catalogued among Jegher’s surviving prints and is representative of the period’s interest in mythological subjects rendered through the woodcut process.
