About the piece

Produced in the workshop of Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens around 1609, this painting captures a moment of mythological abundance. A grinning faun and a soft-featured nymph present a bountiful basket of grapes and stone fruit, rendered with the rich textures and dramatic chiaroscuro characteristic of the early Baroque period. The work exemplifies the era's fascination with fleshy forms and naturalistic detail.
