Included in this lot we have a stipple engraving print by F. R. Roffe of the statue titled "Ino and Bacchus" originating from the mid 20th century. This print was made as a illustration for the 1849 edition of "The Art Journal" and was printed by Day & Co. The print depicts the goddess Ino as she reclines across the ground and is holding a small cluster of grapes over the infant Bacchus. The infant is shown laying on his back with both his arms reaching up towards the grapes. The print is marked across the base of the statue "Ino and Bacchus" with the bottom of the print reading "The Drawing Done By F. R. Roffe - Form the Group in Marble by J. H. Foley - The Engraving by W. Roffe". The statue as well as other Ino and Bacchus prints have been featured in galleries such as the British Museum. This piece is set into a decorative metallic painted frame with embossed leaf like patterns and a green border around the print. The piece good condition overall with some minor wear on the frame. The frame measures 20" wide by 17 1/2" tall with the art measures 10 1/4" wide by 8 1/2" tall.
