Centaur is a 1866 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, depicting Satyr, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a half-human, half-horse figure lying down. The skin tones are soft and warm, with a light greenish background. The face is relaxed, almost smiling, while the horse half has a thick, curly mane. The image blends human and animal traits in a dreamy way. It’s not a painting but a photo, made in 1866. Check out sfumato next—it’s a technique that softens edges like this.
