Faun with a Young Goat

The Faun with a Young Goat statue depicts a mythical figure holding a small goat near the rectangular north basin of Tuileries Garden.

Pierre Lepautre created this stone sculpture in 1685 as a replica of an ancient work discovered in Rome that belonged to Queen Christina of Sweden.

The statue represents the French tradition of placing classical mythological figures in public gardens, combining art with nature in urban spaces.

Visitors can find this sculpture along the walking paths of Tuileries Garden, positioned on a stone base extending into the north pond.

The current statue replaced the original marble version, which was moved to the Louvre Museum in 1872 after the destruction of Palais des Tuileries.
