About this work

In arranging his album, Zobel looked for witty combinations and visual jokes. For instance, the prints on this wall (from the section devoted to mythology and allegory) all have a foreground filled with water. The bodies of water assume various forms. Here it is a bath for women, with four elegant nude ladies being spied upon by a lecherous satyr hidden behind a curtain.
