Statuette
Designer René Buthaud French
Not on view
Buthaud based this statuette as much on sculpture from antiquity as on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century ceramic table decorations, especially the comfortingly familiar figurines made in Staffordshire, England, which he collected. Its subject is a young flute-playing male figure with the horns—but not the goatlike lower body—of a faun. It was one of a series of statuettes Buthaud made in the mid-1930s.
