Torso of a Dancing Faun, 1st C CE

Description

Graeco-Roman Torso of a Dancing Faun, 1st C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From the sculpture's description on [artsmia.org](www.artsmia.org): *'This remnant of a marble faun is most likely a Roman copy of an earlier Greek bronze sculpture, part of a group known as "The Invitation to Dance." Its torso exemplifies the beauty and high level of realism that the Greeks and Romans sought in their representations of the human form.'* More info [here](https://collections.artsmia.org/art/1801/torso-of-a-dancing-faun-graeco-roman)
