This drawing belongs to a series of similar studies of satyrs. They were part of an extensive repertoire of motifs for ceiling decorations. Tiepolo first painted pairs of satyrs in grisailles (monochrome paintings) in the gallery of Palazzo Clerici in Milan, Italy, in 1740. The artist must have favoured the motif, as he employed it years later on the vaults of other decorated residences, such as Ca’ Rezzonico in Venice.
