The Nymph Syrinx Pursued by Pan is a 1662 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a muscular man leaning over a smaller figure on a bed. The smaller figure has their head turned away, wrapped in light-colored cloth. Behind them is a large mirror with a gold frame, and a spear leans against the wall. The scene looks like a moment frozen in time, with strong contrasts between light and dark. The artist used bold brushstrokes to show the tension between the two figures. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting technique works.
