Document source description

The paintings and designs of François Boucher were reproduced regularly at the Vincennes Porcelain Factory. This image of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry, depicted on this plate in the form of a winged cupid, was likely inspired by Boucher’s models. Representations of children in monochromatic color schemes, as seen here, were known in France as <em>enfants camïeux</em> and popularly decorated 18th-century French porcelain.
