Artist, German, 1500 - 1550

The drawing shows a figure resembling a satyr, with a child in one arm and holding a goat's horn in the other. A goat sits at their feet. In the background, another figure leans over a jug. The style features fine lines and detailed cross-hatching for texture and depth, with careful attention to shading and contours. The image is labeled "SATVRNVS" and has the initials "ISB" in the corner. The composition is balanced, with the figures in the foreground and minimal background elements.
