Bacchanalian Infants Playing with a Goat
attributed to Artus Quellinus (I), c. 1650 - c. 1665
Eight followers of Bacchus, the god of wine, pull a recalcitrant billy goat to the sacrificial site. The animal must pay for having eaten the young grapevines. The relief is an original variant of a famous work by François du Quesnoy, the teacher of Quellinus in Rome.
