A fine neoclassical scene inspired by the relief «Amore e Bacco» (1810, 1824) of Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). The young god is seated on the rocks on the left side, facing right, giving a cup to quench the thirst of an erote (winged genio). At his feet, a panther. Very fine work, well composed and executed in high relief. Mirror polishing. Perfect condition.
