This etching dates from the artist’s return to Rome in 1647 and depicts a mythological subject. A satyr rests under a herm of Pan, engaging in the bacchanal indulgences of music and leisure. Around the time this print was made, Castiglione invented the printmaking technique of monotype. Castiglione's earliest known monotype, The Creation of Adam , is in the Art Institute’s collection.
