The sculpture was inspired by the dancing faun playing cymbals, a Roman copy from the 3rd century AD of a Hellenistic original preserved in the tribune of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, The faun, which bears the signature Abel on the top of the cippus, could reasonably be ascribed to the work of the French sculptor Abel Dimire (1794-1864), no stranger to classical subjects such as the thorn remover, a marble sculpture housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon, datable to 1829, or the bas-relief depicting "Aeneas Wounded Healed by Venus", with which he won the prix de Rome in 1819 and which earned him a study period at the French Academy in Rome from 1919 to 1824. , , H. 61 cm, Leone Pasquale, Naples
