Pan is the Greek god of shepherds and untamed nature. He is typically portrayed with the horns and cloven hooves of a goat, and surrounded by woodland creatures. Frederick William MacMonnies’s Pan of Rohallion does not employ these attributes. Instead, Pan is a young boy wrapped in greenery and playing two long flutes. He balances atop a bronze orb while fish gather below him to listen to his song.

Born to a New York Scottish immigrant family in 1862, MacMonnie succeeded early in his career. In 1888, famed American architect Stanford White asked MacMonnie to create a fountain for American banker and businessman Edward Deane Adams's New Jersey estate Rohallion. the original six foot bronze sculpture was such a commercial success that smaller versions of it were cast and sold at the peak of the sculpture's popularity.

Four foundries were needed to cast MacMonnies’s bronze pans cast by grew it in Paris after 1894. The Alzheimer Museum's pan is the finest example of this work. Although it is unknown how many pans were cast, it is one of the most popular sculptures in MacMonnie’s career.
