label: Description
content: Vignette of three revelers--a man holding a tambourine, a woman dancing, and a man with grape bunches in his hat and a wine glass in his hand--and a man on a donkey underneath a trellis in a landscape, and in front of a term of the wine god Bacchus (Dionysus in Greek). The scene is set within a field of arabesque ornamentation, and includes motifs such as scrolls, birds, grape vines, ivy, garland, baskets of grapes, and meanders. Below the revelers, there is a cartouche with a landscape scene and figures herding cattle over a bridge. The plate is signed.
