XAVERY, Pieter
(b. 1647, Antwerpen, d. ca. 1680, Leiden)

Bacchus

1671
Terracotta, height 42 cm
Private collection

This statuette, together with a statuette of a faun in the same collection, belonged to the same ensemble of which the group of Bacchanal was part. They have the same late 18th-century wooden bases which would indicate that they were not separated only after this. Additional surviving figures from this ensemble of Bacchants are not known.
