Garfield Park : Idyl [By Lorado Taft]







Idyl..
By Lorado Taft..
Location: Garfield Park..
Check out it's companion sculpture "Pastoral".. click here..

The marker reads..
These "little whimsies... represent care-free maiden and faun-like youth of some remote period as they idle and play in the forests of Arcadia. It was my thought merely to make something graceful and appropiatre for the greenhouse, something that would add to the impressions of fairyland which strikes all visitors in that wonderful place."
Lorado Taft, Sculptor
1913..
