The Pipes of Pan

Mariano Fortuny

Cleveland Museum of Art

A painting of a nude male figure with dark, curly hair sitting on a rock playing a panpipe. The subject wears nothing, and his hair is dark and curly. He sits on a rock with his left leg bent and right leg straight. He holds two pipes to his mouth with both hands. The background shows a blue sky and some grass and weeds. The painting has a worn, aged appearance with visible signs of aging around the edges. The color palette is muted, with earth tones dominating the scene.
