From the Art Institute of Chicago record
The Baroque Italian etcher and innovator par excellence, Castiglione employed his signature flourish in this oblong view of revelers regaining their strength after a bacchanal. A satyr sets himself down on the steps below a portly herm, likely a depiction of Pan: the flock of goats on the right attentively raise their heads toward the sculpture as if awaiting orders.
