Note du spécialiste

With the bronze base replaced by an identical one of granite, 'Infant Faun' became the central element of the 1908 Swan Memorial Fountain in Utica, New York. Other casts of 'Infant Faun' are currently in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, and the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, New York.
