Скачать или смотреть The Hever Nymph and Satyr | Antiquities, 7 December 2023 | London, New Bond Street

This marble symplegma is one of only three known almost complete surviving examples of the type, alongside that in the Musei Capitolini in Rome, and the Townley group in the British Museum, London.

The subject of the amorous tussle between nymph and satyr was popularised during the late Hellenistic period. The Roman examples of this type of group impressively capture the vivacity of the genre, as well as the striking contrast between masculine muscularity and feminine softness.
