12 1/4 in. x 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 in.
Note: From James D. Draper, curator of European sculpture, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in 1984, 'A large number of statuettes of this model exist, varying so much in their surface treatment that it is improbably that they were made at the same time and place. Some examples, such as another in the Metropolitan Museum (32.100.190), are less articulate than the Linsky Bacchus and have relatively matte surfaces, which might indicate Venetian workmanship. Attributions have ranged from the early-sixteenth century Paduan goldsmith Francesco da Sant ’Agata, to a Florentine under the influence of Benvenuto Cellini. There is undoubtedly a Mannerist element in the svelte figure, but this is due largely to the ancient type that the artists were imitating. The classical precedent may have been a bronze statuette, since lost, or a variation on a marble, such as one in Munich'.
Condition
In good condition with a warm brown patina. Drill hole in his back right shoulder. Nicks and losses to the marble base.
