Abundance and a Satyr [obverse]

Pseudo Antonio da Brescia

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular bas-relief depicting two figures. One figure is a mythological creature resembling a faun or satyr, with horns and goat-like legs, playing a musical instrument. The second figure is a reclining nude woman, with her body oriented towards the faun, her gaze directed at him, and her right arm raised above her head. The faun appears to be serenading the woman. The material of the sculpture is bronze. The outdoor setting includes landscape details such as trees, hills, and buildings in the background.
