Bronze Plaquette Based On A Work By Duquesnoy Depicting A Bacchanal Of Putti
Large bronze plaquette depicting a bacchanal of putti in the style of François Duquesnoy (1597–1643).
Flanders, mid-17th century (for the model).
Beautiful antique cast (late 17th or 18th century) with extensive retouching in chiseling.
Dimensions: 9.9 x 16.1 cm
This beautiful plaquette in high relief is strongly inspired by the compositions of François Duquesnoy and could have served as a model for decorating cups, tankards, jugs, or any other drinking vessels. A bronze example with a very similar casting (though much less heavily chiseled) is kept at the National Gallery of Art in Washington: https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1356-infant-bacchanalians
