POMPEIANA de William Gell (éd. de 1832)

Vignette 24

Back to chapter 11

Vignette 24 exhibits a dance performed by a male faun and a female Bacchante. The ears and the shaggy covering denote the sylvan nature of the former, and his right foot displays that sort of rustic movement which is common to the wild inhabitants of all countries, ancient and modern.
