Description
This representation of the Greek God of wine, fertility, theatre and religious extasy is less common than the usual ones. Indeed he is here depicted as a young child, yet with the pose of an adult. Standing on his barrel, the subject of drinkenness is understated, and causes something of a discomfort when it is linked to the youth and apparent innocence of the child Bacchus.
