Inv. No. 23.22.
Baltimore, Walters Art Museum.
Origin:
Porto d’Anzio, ca. 1890 [recovered during the excavations for the building of the Villa Mengarini, said to be from Antium (?)]; Joseph Brummer; Henry Walters, Baltimore, 1928, by purchase; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.
Description:
The satyr exemplifies the carefree world of Dionysus, god of wine. The original statue, now lost, was by the celebrated artist Praxiteles. The goat-eared satyr pours from a jug that was held in his upraised right hand into a shallow dish he held below. The sinuous curves and unmuscled adolescent body are hallmarks of Praxiteles’ most celebrated works, as are the grace and charm of the subject.
