Attributed to a Follower of Claude Michel Clodion, this exquisite set of four Italian carved white marble figures depicts child satyrs as musicians. Each finely crafted figure portrays a seated putto-faun with youthful features, small goat’s legs, and cloven feet. The charming ensemble showcases the putti-fauns playing rustic instruments such as a syrinx (Panpipes), a flute, a tambourine, and clappers.
Dating back to circa 1900, these sculptures stand on integral waisted square plinths, adding to their elegance. The provenance of the pieces can be traced back to Kirkham Hall, lending a touch of history and prestige to these delightful artworks.
Drawing inspiration from the rustic god Pan and his followers, these putti-fauns capture the essence of late 19th-century classical revival. Perfect for Grand Tour collectors, the instruments depicted symbolize Pan’s pastoral music. The intricate carving and composition of these figures exemplify the enduring appeal of bacchic subjects in the Italian neoclassical tradition.
