Allegorical scene, terracotta sculpture
Diana the huntress and a Handmaid tempted by Satyrs in the guise of innocent Putti, terracotta sculpture, Paris, 19th century
Measurements: 44x43x31cm
Of particular beauty and refinement is this allegorical scene in terracotta inserted in the original gilded wooden base where Diana the Huntress and a Handmaid are portrayed as they pose attentively in the act of playing with three cheering Putti…but with legs covered in thick hair than the one in close-up shows the true nature of the same ... is a Faun!
The sculpture is therefore legible as an allegory of chastity and lust that play with each other and try to overwhelm themselves even using deception.
