The satyr with the peasant family is a 1700 paint by Willem van Herp, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting shows a lively scene with a satyr sitting at a table with a peasant family. The satyr is on the left, wearing a white cloth around his waist, and has horns and a beard. He's looking at the family, who are eating and drinking around the table. There's a baby in the center, and a dog on the left side of the painting. The room is dimly lit, with a window on the left side that lets in some light. There are various objects scattered around the room, including a jug, a bowl, and some food on the table. The overall atmosphere is one of warmth and conviviality, with the satyr seemingly welcome among the family.
