Satyr on the Fortress Parapet: An Oil Painting

An oil painting on canvas of a satyr standing atop a crenellated fortress parapet at twilight. The satyr has goat legs, curved horns, and a mischievous grin; he wears a tattered leather cloak and carries a lyre slung over his shoulder. He leans on a carved stone balustrade, one hoof on the ledge as storm-dark clouds gather over distant towers. Warm torchlight from wall sconces and flickering fires cast gilded highlights on rough stone and the satyr's fur, with dramatic chiaroscuro and thick impasto brushwork. The fortress stretches into the distance with banners, arrow slits, and watchtowers; the sky is a wash of purples and golds. The scene is mythic, cinematic, Baroque in mood, blending fantasy realism.
