The present sheet belongs to a series of drawings representing satyrs and centaurs, works described by James Byam Shaw as 'the most delightful and original of all Domenico's allegorical and mythological subjects' (J. Byam Shaw, The Drawings of Domenico Tiepolo, London, 1962, p. 41). The artist executed over one hundred drawings on the theme of fauns, satyrs and centaurs represented alone or in groups. The present sheet depicts a female faun holding a young satyr in her arms, with two other satyrs nearby. Similar drawings with representations of families of satyrs are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (J. Byam Shaw, The Robert Lehman Collection: Italian Eighteenth-Century Drawings, New York, 1987, nos. 140-141). The drawings were apparently executed as independent works of art, although Giovanni Domenico returned on these themes also in his paintings.
