Answer:
Head of a Faun is a lost sculpture by Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo, dating from c. 1489. His first known work of sculpture in marble, it was sculpted when he was 15 or 16 as a copy of an antique work with some minor alterations. According to Giorgio Vasari's biography of the artist, it was the creation of this work that secured the young Michaelangelo the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici.

Write a summary of the fauns head
- A lost sculpture by the genius of the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo, from around 1489 is called Head of a Faun. His earliest marble sculpture is a duplicate of an old piece that he created when he was 15 or 16 but with a few small adjustments.
- A comparable marble and mask, thought to be the original until 1860, were first on exhibit at the Uffizi Gallery before being moved to the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in 1865. Unfortunately, this marble and mask was stolen during World War II and cannot be recovered. The Head is now presumed to be gone.
- With his bulging ears, little horns, and copious amounts of fur, the head of this faun—a mythical creature that is equal parts man and goat—looks more animal than human.
- This piece was one of his first, thus it bears his signature. He heard a conversation that affected him. He overheard viewers speculating about the artist's identity. Christoforo Solari was given as the erroneous response, rather than his name.
