Faun's afternoon rest

A young faun with small horns in curly golden hair kneels on paved ground between blue and red rocky outcrops, arms lowered and eyes closed as if dozing. His body bears black-and-white swirled markings and he wears a beaded necklace; birds circle overhead, a coral-like growth studded with red nodules rises at left, and a blue meander-patterned ribbon winds along the ground.

Realistically modeled skin and hair meet flattened, decorative passages - the coral growth, meander ribbon, and animal-print markings - set against saturated blue sea and sky and rust-red rock. The mix of naturalistic figure and stylized ornament gives the scene a quiet stillness, as though the faun rests between a real coastline and a woven, symbolic pattern.
