Bacchus Finding Ariadne on Naxos Bacchus Discovering Ariadne on Naxos, In a classic room a naked young woman is lying on a canopy bed hung with curtains, slumbering on her left side. She has the hand of the left arm bent upwards above the head and against the headscarf, with the right she supports the pillow she is lying on. From the left comes the naked Bacchus, who lifts the curtain with both hands. He is caught by the arm by a satyr, who lights him with the torch. The satyr is standing on one leg and the other is bent over the bed. Behind him a table with a cloth, on which a vase with flowers, in the architectural background heavy pillars and an arch. On the plinth on which the bed stands, there is an Amor three-quarters to the left. He lifts the bedcloth above the head of the owl, who has put a claw on his knee. In front of the Amor are bow and quiver, more to the left the slipper of the sleeping star. The bed leg in Floris style goes back to a partially covered human body. The curtains have a floral pattern on the outside, they are trimmed with frills, just like the tablecloth, which has a border with tendrils. The pillow with tassels has an edge of tendrils, the hanging bedclothes have an edge with rosettes, (story of) Ariadne and Bacchus, Bacchus finds Ariadne on Naxos, satyr (s) (in general), (story of) Cupid, Amor (Eros)), Adriaen de Vries, Praag (possibly), c. 1611, bronze (metal), h 52.5 cm × w 42.0 cm × t 7.0 cm
