Apollo and Marsyas

Italienische Grafik 1579–1623, circa 1600

The image shows two figures in an outdoor setting. The first figure is standing and leaning slightly forward, gripping the arm of the second figure, who is seated against a tree with their arms bound above their head. The standing figure has short, curly hair and defined facial features, wearing a draped garment and sandals. The second figure is mostly nude, with wavy hair and a beard, bound to a tree. A stringed musical instrument, resembling a viola, is at the feet of the seated figure. The background features trees, hilly formations, and structures in the distance, all in muted, sepia tones.
