Clodion, after.
Pair of ewers in bronze with two patinas depicting bacchanalian scenes after Clodion.
Circular base with channel pedestal adorned with a frieze of vine branches and a frieze of pearls. The gilded bronze frame supports the body with large stylized acanthus leaves. The medallion-patinated body is decorated with bas-reliefs after Clodion, depicting child putti and satyrs abusing a dog and a goat while brandishing thyrses. Above, vine branches and friezes of gilded bronze pearls adorn the upper part of the ewer. The spout is decorated with water leaves at the base, vine climbing branches and friezes of olives and coins. A winged bacchic putto seated in front of a bird straddles each of the guilloche handles, holding bunches of grapes in his hands. Vine leaves wrap around the handle, which is also decorated with fluting and foliage and finished with a ram's head topped with leaves.

Late 19th century.

These scenes are similar to the bas-reliefs created by Clodion for the Hôtel de Condé in 1781 at the request of the Princesse de Bourbon-Condé. The architect of the Hôtel de Condé, Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart, commissioned Clodion to create seven bas-reliefs. They were located in the main courtyard of the mansion, around the oculi. Two models are very close to the scene depicted, entitledBacchanales d'enfants. Le Sacrifice de la chèvre, produced in 1781, are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musée du Louvre.
