Pan and Syrinx

Giovanni Bernardi

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts two human figures, one holding a pan flute. Both figures are nude, highlighting their detailed anatomies. The material appears to be a golden metal. The image is a flat, circular medallion-like form. The figures are closely positioned, with etched details providing a sense of depth and movement within the circular frame.
