This 1876 photograph by Sophus Williams captures a marble sculpture of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, in the Orangerie Palace in Potsdam. The sculpture, likely a copy of a classical work, depicts Bacchus in a relaxed pose, seated within a large seashell. The detail in the sculpture, from the god's flowing drapery to the intricate details of the seashell, is evident in the photograph, showcasing the skill of the original artist. While the sculpture is not attributed to Williams himself, it's worth noting the importance of his photographic documentation of this piece and other sculptures.
