A classical depiction of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, in a half-length oval format. He is shown with a muscular physique, grapevines adorning his hair, and holding a drinking vessel (a rhyton) above his head. To his right, a smaller figure (a putto or satyr) is eating grapes. The intricate background and detailed shading showcase the artist's skill in the Mannerist style.
Bacchus by Hendrich Goltzius, c. 1600 (engraving)
