Description:
Cast of Panisca, a small statue of a female satyr, a rare subject. Italian marble. from an original Italian marble. Villa Albani, Rome. New: both feet, the right hand and a flute, parts of the left hand, very correct restoration. also the horns and ears of the antique head, of which Friederichs-Wolters 1508 questions the pertinence. “This charming little statue presents the rare spectacle of a female Pan, more delicately and nobly conceived, to be sure, than a male goat-legged Pan was ever made.” the Albani copy doubtless reproduces the original size of the work; for it would gain nothing by enlargement. the original was no older that the Alexandrian age. it was doubtless intended for a garden of for a rustic environment. there is a pretty example at Pompeii of a garden enlivened with small satyrs.
