Charming patinated bronze sculpture depicting a mischievous young satyr, shown nude and holding several ducks in his arms. He strides forward with a lively posture atop a naturalistic base adorned with aquatic vegetation, a frog, and a crab. Water once flowed from the mouths of the animals, as evidenced by the visible pipe openings.
The figure of the satyr, taken from Greco-Roman mythology, is interpreted here with playful humor, emphasized by the joyful expression and dynamic movement. This piece forms an amusing fountain subject, typical of 19th-century garden ornamentation, blending mythological fantasy with decorative naturalism.
