This red chalk drawing by Italian Renaissance artist Correggio (c. 1489-1534) depicts the head of a faun, a mythical creature with the legs and tail of a goat. The faun's head is tilted back, revealing a distinctive pointed ear, and his eyes are closed in a state of repose. The use of red chalk lends a warmth to the drawing, highlighting the subtle contours of the faun’s face. This work, housed at the Städel Museum, is a testament to Correggio’s mastery of anatomical detail and his ability to capture the essence of a mythological subject.
