This black chalk drawing by Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque artist, depicts a lively scene with five cherubic figures. The work, titled “Young Bacchus and Companions,” is a study for a larger composition. The artist’s signature, “V. Dyck,” appears in the lower right corner. The drawing is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago and exemplifies van Dyck's masterful ability to capture the human form with expressive movement and detail.
