This print showcases "A Bacchanal (recto) (pen & black ink)" by Raymond Lafage, a renowned French artist from the 17th century. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Measuring at 6 1/16 x 12 1/16 inches (15.4 x 30.64 cm), this intricate pen and black ink drawing depicts a lively celebration known as a bacchanal. The scene exudes an atmosphere of intoxication and revelry, with figures engaging in uninhibited merriment.

This sketch provides viewers with a glimpse into an ancient tradition that celebrates indulgence and liberation from societal norms. Gifted to the museum by the Joseph F. McCrindle Collection, this remarkable piece offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Lafage's talent for capturing movement and emotion on paper.
