Pan of Rohallion, the first of a series of fountain figures sculpted by MacMonnies in the 1890s, was originally designed for the estate of Howard Adams in Seabright, New Jersey. One of the artist's most successful models, it was edited by both French and American foundries in several sizes: ten inches (see lot 79), fifteen inches and thirty inches high versions.
The present work is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Willard Vine Clerk, dated 4 January 1982, in which he states that this sculpture was installed in the MacMonnies' garden on West 10th Street, New York, until MacMonnies' death in 1937, after which it was kept by his widow until her death in 1962.
