Specification:
This figurine group is a very interesting interpretation of ancient legend deriving from Greek mythology, concerning the Greek God of Wine - Bacchus: A male figurine has taken place on a wine barrel, holding up a glass of red wine as well as seizing a bottle - the man seems to have great pleasure with his carousing.
Additionally, the merry reveler is accompanied by a boyish satyr playing trumpet - it hides behind man's back. A little girl kneels in front of wine barrel, turning the spigot in order to put wine into a bottle. A little boy is busy with taking notes into a book / he has shouldered a small wine jug. - This figurines' group is called 'German Bacchus' since the merry reveler here isn't a figurine of ancient times but a Rococo man wearing a wig and clad in Rococo garments / the children accompanying him are clad in Rococo style, too.
The figurines are attached to elliptic base edged by Rocaille ornaments.
Measures:
Height 21.0 cm (= 8.26 inches)
Width of base 14.0 cm (= 5.51 inches)
