About the piece

Painted around 1790 by Vinzenz Fischer, this work captures the mythological moment Narcissus discovers his own reflection in a forest pool. Accompanied by a quiet Cupid and a resting dog, the youth leans gracefully over the water while the nymph Echo watches longingly from the shadows of the background trees.
