This head of a goat, formerly in the collection of the Marquis of Carpio (1629-1687), is a fragment of a sculpture depicting a common subject in Antiquity, in which a small rider (Bacchus, Cupid or Venus) is mounted on the animal. On the right of the head are remains of a hand that would have been clutching the goat’s hair.
