A Faun Grasping a Bunch of Grapes
A goat-legged faun squeezing grapes in black chalk.
What
A muscular goat-legged faun crouches and grips a bunch of grapes in both hands, drawn in black chalk with brown wash.
Why
Cleveland relates it to a lost Rubens painting of a faun squeezing grapes for the young Bacchus; it holds the sheet (1943.341), CC0.
Notice
Rubens added the brown wash to deepen the shadow behind the figure.
“The press before there was a press: a pair of hands and a bunch of grapes.”
