Drawing, design for a faun costume, from the 'New designs for costumes' (Nouveaux desseins d'habillements à l'usage des balets operas et comedies). The costume consists of a knee-length tonnelet with fur trimmings across the chest and around the neck, bell sleeves with hanging beads, and high-heeled boots, bordered with fur. A flute, attached to the tonnelet, hangs over the faun's left hip, and a cane is held on the right hand. The faun's horns are surrounded by vines.
