The Nymph of the Spring by Lucas Cranach the Elder

The Spring Nymph at the Fountain is the earliest example of a series of paintings by Renaissance artists Lucas Cranach the Elder and Lucas Cranach the Younger, depicting a resting spring nymph. There are at least 24 versions that were made in the Cranach workshop in Wittenberg. It is sometimes difficult to determine to what extent the master himself painted.
