The composition draws upon classical iconography, presenting the deity with his characteristic goat-like legs, horns, and rustic features. Pan is shown reclining, his body angled to display a muscular torso, while his hand rests upon a syrinx, or pan-pipes, which are traditionally associated with his musical pursuits. A cluster of grapes is positioned near his legs, further linking the figure to the themes of nature and Dionysian revelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Bisschop, a lawyer by profession and an amateur artist of significant skill, was known for his efforts to document and disseminate classical sculpture through his prints. This work reflects the seventeenth-century interest in the antique, where artists sought to translate the forms of classical statuary into the medium of printmaking. The etching technique allows for a clear definition of form, using varied hatching to suggest the texture of the figure's fur and the musculature of his human torso. The lines are precise, demonstrating a controlled approach to shading that gives the figure a sense of volume against the relatively sparse background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is marked with the initials 'J.B.' and the inscription 'Poel.del.', indicating that the design was based on a drawing by Egbert van der Poel. This collaborative process was common in the period, where printmakers would interpret the works of other artists to reach a wider audience. The work captures a quiet, pastoral atmosphere, focusing on the anatomical study of the hybrid creature. It remains a clear example of the Dutch Golden Age's engagement with classical subjects, rendered with the technical clarity typical of de Bisschop's graphic output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/self-portrait-as-the-allegory-of-painting-artemisia-gentileschi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait as the Allegory of Painting - Artemisia Gentileschi — Artemisia Gentileschi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan de Bisschop","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58362287882575,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58362304364879,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58362304397647,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58362304430415,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58362304463183,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58362304495951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58362304528719,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58362304561487,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58362304594255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58362304627023,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58362304659791,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58362304692559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Reclining-Pan_Poster_CompositorV1_1785572278090.jpg?v=1785572597","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/reclining-pan-jan-de-bisschop","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
