An Italian Renaissance sculpture of a satyr, 17th

Model after Severo da Ravenna. Fully plastic bronze, darkly patinated. On a later wooden base the kneeling figure of a silenos holding the remains of a wine goblet in his right hand. The sculpture is clearly shown in a libidinal state. Total height 20 cm. Slight damage due to age. The left hand bumped. The chalice only fragmentarily preserved. One horn is missing. Satyr statuettes of this kind were common as desk utensils and were among the most popular pieces of furniture in study rooms in the 16th and 17th century. The model created by Severo da Ravenna around 1520 was therefore repeated in numerous replicas and variations.Condition: II - III
