Nymph with Satyrs (after Poussin) is a 1998 by Leon Kossoff, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Kossoff made this etching in 1998. It follows a painting by Nicolas Poussin but isn’t a copy. The print shows a nude figure with satyrs. Kossoff reworked this plate many times. He printed different proofs to test lines and shading. It shows how printmaking became his way to study drawing. His etchings after Old Masters explore old ideas in new lines. Look next at Frank Auerbach.

The etching was produced in collaboration with Ann Dowker and Marc Balakjian at Studio Prints.
