(82.6 cm) x W. 20 1/2 in. (52.5 cm) X D. 11 in. (28.2 cm) Museum ID: 64.104 “The marble torso of a satyr is one of many Roman period copies after a Greek bronze statue by the fourth-century sculptor Praxiteles. Fully preserved examples of the statue type tell us that the satyr was represented as a languorous youth emphatically leaning into a supporting tree trunk, with only his long, goat-like ears indicating his non-human status.” Source: “Satyr Torso” (64.104).
