French sculptor (19th century) - Bacchanal.
35 x 35 x h 65 cm.
Group in patinated terracotta, worked in the round.
The group depicts two nymphs and a satyr in a dancing movement, with a cornucopia full of bunches of grapes at the base. The modeling recalls the style of Claude Michel, known as Clodion (Nancy 1738 - Paris 1814), evident in the sensual rendering of the figures, the softness of the surfaces, and the liveliness of the garlanded hair. The work fits into the taste for the revival of 18th-century Bacchic themes, which was widespread in France during the 19th century.
