The Sleeping Faun, by Harriet Goodhue Hosmer
The Sleeping Faun, by Harriet Goodhue Hosmer, 1864-70. The sculpture of a pointed-eared woodland spirit, demonstrates her mastery of the neoclassical style. A small half-human, half-goat, satyr mischievously ties the faun's animal skin garment to a tree stump. Hosmer was the first professional American female sculptor to make her living from her artwork
