Vijf bacchanten
About the work
In the museum's own words — in Dutch
Vijf dronken kinderen doen zich tegoed aan wijn. Het kind links trekt de stop uit een wijnvat. Het kind met de drinkschaal, dat steunt op het wijnvat, stelt Bacchus voor. Een kind op de achtergrond ligt over te geven. Zijn wijnglas is op de grond gevallen.
