Trofeeën met manden, thyrsus en dorsvlegel 1704 - 1762

"Trofeeën met manden, thyrsus en dorsvlegel" is an etching by an anonymous artist, dating back to the 18th century. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two still life arrangements of baskets, thyrsi, and flails. The intricate details and delicate lines of the etching, combined with the symbolic nature of the objects, point to a possible connection to the Bacchic celebrations of ancient Rome. This print is an example of still life drawings, a genre popular in 18th-century Europe, and provides a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the time.
