Young Faun with Heron, 1890. Frederick William MacMonnies (American, 1863-1937). Bronze; overall: 68.6 cm (27 in.). MacMonnies originally created this composition as a large garden sculpture, but later marketed small-scale versions, such as this example, to adorn interior spaces. The subject presents a boyish mythological figure mischievously grasping a bird whose ample wings curve around him. A striking visual contrast is achieved through the variegated textures of the heron’s feathers and the faun’s smooth flesh.

RMPB9R4M–Young Faun with Heron. Artist: Frederick William MacMonnies (American, New York 1863-1937 New York). Dimensions: 27 1/4 x 15 x 9 1/4 in. (69.2 x 38.1 x 23.5 cm). Date: 1889-90, cast 1890. MacMonnies produced a large bronze 'Young Faun with Heron' for Naumkeag, a house in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, designed by Stanford White for Ambassador and Mrs. Joseph H. Choate. The ancient pagan motif of a child wrestling with a bird is recapitulated in this dynamic reduction. The taunting faun, identified as such only by its wreath of leaves, firmly grasps the heron's neck and restrains one of its legs.
