Nymphs and Satyr

William-Adolphe Bouguereau's Nymphs and Satyr depicts a group of nude female nymphs surrounding a central satyr in a sun-dappled forest beside a shallow pool. The figures are arranged in a dynamic circular composition, with outstretched arms and a white draped cloth creating diagonals that guide the gaze, while the satyr’s goat-like legs anchor the center. The painting showcases Bouguereau's polished Academic style, with smooth, luminous flesh tones, meticulous rendering of anatomy and drapery, and a warm palette set against greens and earth tones.
