This group was probably designed and set up in such a way that the viewer would initially have seen the upper body of the hermaphrodite from the front. He would at first have assumed that the figure was a nymph defending herself from an importunate satyr. Moving around the group, a rather different picture would have emerged. The supposed nymph is intersex, while the satyr, the lecherous old Silenus, fails to realise that the object of his desire is not female.
