Lot Essay


Although his ears are not typically pointed, the youthful, slightly impish features and the mass of unruly hair reaching down the back of his neck, are typical stylistic details of a young satyr. See Arachne Database no. 25184 for a satyr head with rounded ears in the collection at Petworth House, West Sussex.
