Bronze

Bronze subject after Jean Joseph PERRAUD (1819-1876) entitled "the childhood of Bacchus".

Bacchus, perched on the left shoulder of the god Pan, pulls his ear and hits him with a stick. The grinning and laughing face of the playful god is touching realism. Perraud artist Francomtois excels in the treatment of anatomy.
