English: Fireplace with Bacchanalians figure in the Dining Room, Chatsworth House - Derbyshire, England. These figures are by either Richard Westmacott the younger or Robert William Sievier as per the following note. "In 1833 Sievier and Richard Westmacott III were commissioned by the 6th Duke of Devonshire each to make a chimneypiece for the new dining room at Chatsworth. Both followed a Bacchanalian theme and incorporated two life-sized figures (104). The Duke was disappointed with the results, noting ‘They are clever and well-executed, but do not nearly approach the idea I wished to see realized. I wanted more abandon and joyous expression. I find these Baccanali too composed and sedate’ (Chatsworth Handbook, 1845, 83)."
