Bacchanalian Infants Playing with a Goat

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.
