Dancing Faun

The dancing faun in  Luxembourg Garden, Paris...

"Statue of a dancing faun with a flute in Jardin du Luxembourg.

Le faune dansant - the dancing faun - was finished by Eugène Louis Lequesne in 1850 and is standing close to the perimeter fence of Jardin du Luxembourg.

The well built, young faun dances on a sack of wine, playing a flute which he holds in his right hand.

Raising his left arm and his right leg, you can see the energy in his movements.

Eugène Louis Lequesne was inspired by a statue of a dancing faun found in Pompei and exhibited at Naples."
