About this work

A farmer and a Satyr at a table in a house. The Satyr looks fascinated at the farmer who blows into his soup. The fable describes how a Satyr is a guest at a farmer's house. The farmer first blows into his frozen hands and then into his bowl of soup. The Satyr is surprised that the farmer blows both warmth and cold from his own mouth and considers him a magician.
