A satyr sprawls asleep on a rock, legs thrown open and head fallen back, as if after drinking. The statue is a Hellenistic original or a fine Roman copy, found in the 1620s below Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome and heavily restored for the Barberini family. Its frank sensuality made it famous, and Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria bought it for his new sculpture museum.

A small tail at the base of his spine and the animal skin beneath him mark him as a satyr. His right leg is a later restoration.
