Drunken Faun, Museo at Naples

Amerikanische Grafik 1879–1892, 1892

This image depicts a sculpture of a faun holding an amphora, displayed in a museum. The faun is portrayed in a relaxed pose, with human and goat-like features. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze and is in shades of gray, blue, and green. The faun's upper body is leaning forward, looking down, and there is a sense of movement in the posture and interaction with the vessel. The inscription on the drawing mentions it as "Bronze from Pompeii" and specifies the museum as "Museo at Naples."
