Satyr 1920

Rose O'Neill's 1920 sculpture "Satyr" is a compelling example of her unique style, which blended elements of both realism and fantasy. The sculpture's subject, a satyr, is a mythical creature with the legs and horns of a goat and the upper body of a human. O'Neill's masterful use of bronze creates a textured surface that gives the sculpture a sense of life and movement. This work stands out for its melancholic expression, emphasizing the humanity of the satyr, as well as the artist's ability to imbue her fantastical creations with a poignant emotional depth.
