| Description | A reduction in reverse of a lost composition by Anthony van Dyck, which was engraved by Le Brunn in 1628. It is most probable that no. 390 was copied from this engraving. The infant Bacchus is riding on a leopard (properly a tiger), in allusion to his having been helped across the Tigris by that animal. Several putti lead the procession. The group is accompanied by Pan. | |
