A Satyr and a Bacchante (Allegory of Reproduction)

Liard Family workshop, Paris, after the Master of the Martelli Mirror

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round bronze sculpture with intricate designs. Two figures face each other in profile, engaged in an interaction. On the left, an older man gestures with a raised finger, while the opposite figure, a younger person, holds a crown or vessel. The background features vegetation-themed details in high relief. Below the central figures is a smaller bust of a figure in elaborate clothing. The sculpture is circular, made of bronze with a smooth, polished surface.
