Bacchus

John Singer Sargent, 1874–1880

The image shows a person seated with relaxed posture and one leg crossed over the other. They have curly red hair, soft facial features, and a slight smile. The person is depicted mostly unclothed with a cloth around their waist, holding a rod in one hand and a cup in the other. In the background, another figure is pouring liquid into the cup. The scene is set against an ancient architectural backdrop with warm hues and a dark frame.
