"Sleeping Faun - Barberini" is an etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist known for his architectural engravings. Created in the 18th century, it depicts a reclining faun, a mythical creature with the legs of a goat and the upper body of a man. The faun is depicted in a relaxed and seemingly slumbering pose, emphasizing the subject's physicality and the artist's skill in depicting the human form. This piece was likely inspired by the ancient Roman sculpture of a sleeping faun, known as the "Barberini Faun".
