專家說明

The use of appropriate iconography in decorative schemes reached its peak during the neoclassical period in Britain, towards the end of the 18th century. The depiction here of a Bacchic youth, evoking feasting and plenty, suggests that this chimneypiece was most likely conceived for a dining room.
