About the Item

This terracotta represents a mythological scene, in which we can see a centaur kissing with passion a lady, while a man is playing the Pan flute. On the back, a satyr, recognizable by the little horns and the round nose, is looking up at the two lovers. It can be attributed to a french artist inspired by Rodin.
