An exquisite and dynamic 18th-century bronze sculpture by celebrated Rococo artist Michel Claude Clodion, Bacchantes and Young Satyr captures a lively Bacchic scene. Two graceful bacchantes, adorned with flowing drapery and floral garlands, dance in ecstasy while a spirited young satyr clutches a cluster of grapes, symbolizing festivity and indulgence. The figures' fluid movement and sensuous detail exemplify Clodion’s mastery of form and emotion in bronze.

This rare painted bronze sculpture is signed “Clodion” and dated 1762 on the naturalistic base. It is a fine representation of Clodion’s mythological themes and ornamental style, making it an exceptional piece for collectors of French neoclassical or Rococo sculpture.
