About this work

This print shows a fancy Paris party where the King and others dress as satyrs. It’s from about the 1800s and belongs to a British artist named John Harris. What makes this print special? The scene was risky back then. The King and guests dressed as goat-men satyrs and almost got hurt by the angry crowd. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like this.
