About the piece

This evocative oil on panel, attributed to the circle of Bartholomeus Spranger, showcases the masterful play of light and shadow characteristic of the Northern Mannerist style. The scene depicts a faun with a wounded foot being attended to by figures in a deep, atmospheric space, all bathed in a luminous golden glow that gives the piece a striking, dramatic presence.
