A finely modeled and polychrome enameled porcelain figure group depicting Bacchus seated on a wine barrel, draped in a deep red cloak, holding aloft a gilt goblet, accompanied by a young bacchante holding a wine flask and wineskin. Both figures are placed on a scrolling rocaille base heightened with green and gilt details. The verso is marked with an underglaze blue ”F” mark of the Fürstenberg manufactory.
