This terracotta sculpture by Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse depicts a dynamic mythological scene featuring a faun abducting a nymph alongside a triton and bacchante in high relief. The work exemplifies the 19th century academic tradition of classical subject matter rendered with naturalistic detail and dramatic movement. The pieces are mounted on ebonized wood circular swivel bases, allowing for viewing from multiple angles and enhancing the sculptural composition's spatial presence.
