Fawn sculptures at the Archaeological Museum of Naples, Italy


Fawn, Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum

Sculpture – Bronze (Height 96 cm) 1st century BC

These two bronze sculptures of fawns were discovered in the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum.

One cannot help but admire the beauty and elegance of these two fawns, rendered with such realism and presence.

One expects to see them running one behind the other.

They demonstrate the level of artistic quality already achieved over two thousand years ago by the sculptors of the time.
