Modeled in the same composition as the famous dancing faun, this sculpture is made to be a juggler in a particularly crucial moment of an acrobatic trick.

The artist may also have had the Gemran word kunststückemachen in mind, which means both to juggle, and more literally, to make a work of art.

A play on words to describe this playful bronze.

Juggling Man, about 1610-1615, Adriaen de Vries. J. Paul Getty Museum.
