About the piece

Painted in 1628 by Jacob Pynas, this oil on panel work depicts the mythological Narcissus captivated by his own reflection. Set within a dramatic landscape of steep rocky cliffs, cascading water, and dense foliage, the composition reflects the early 17th-century Dutch fascination with light and texture in nature, influenced by the Italianate tradition.
