Bacchus
Sculptor: Tetrode, Willem Danielsz van
Copper alloy, probably bronze, cast, chased, and polished. Bacchus stands with his left leg placed in front of the right. His left arm is raised and holds a bunch of grapes. His head is bent and turned to the left as he gazes down at his right hand, which once seems to have held a cup. His hair is entwined with vines.
