Satyr Playing Double Reed


In Greek mythology, satyrs were woodland creatures often pictured as hairy little men with tall and goatlike ears. In this drawing from an ancient Greek vase, a satyr reclines on a couch and plays a double reed. The vase is housed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England.
