Artist/Maker
Place of origin

The casted bronze roundel, made in Germany in about 1850, shows frolicing putti and a goat. The subject is based on a bacchanalian scene, probably invented by François Duquesnoy. This version exists in various materials, for a version in ivory see: 1061-1853.
Duquesnoy was a Netherlandish sculptor who spent most of his working life in Rome and assimilated the classical style. His tender and sensuous reliefs of cupids, satyrs and small children were highly influential.
