Beautiful miniature portrait of a goat-horned satyr depicted in an antique-style mask, early 19th century. The miniature is composed of a mercury-gilt bronze mask standing out against a green malachite-painted background in a blackened wood frame with a gilt brass view. Antique paper on the back. This bronze was produced by the bronzemaker André Antoine Ravrio (1759-1814), and can be found on a Ravrio clock.

A fine, refined object typical of souvenirs of the Grand Tour, the aristocratic educational journey across Europe undertaken by young men from the highest classes of European society from the 17th to the 19th century. Ideal for complementing a 19th-century neoclassical decor with one of those little details that create an authentic atmosphere.

In very good condition, composed of antique elements, the whole works very well and naturally. High-quality gilding and chasing.
