Children’s Dance with the God Pan

1617 - 1697. Ivory.
Not on display

Faydherbe was one of the finest Flemish sculptors of his day. He entered Rubens’s studio as a collaborator three years before the latter’s death. It offers clear proof of Rubens’s influence on the artists associated with his workshop, in this case evident in the children’s similarity to those in the painter’s Feast of Venus now in Kunsthistorisches Museum,Vienna.
