The Bacchanal by Daniel Hopfer. A group of naked adults and children in a scene with a tree bearing fruit. The adults are gathered around a barrel, with some sitting on it or nearby. One person on the left holds a bunch of grapes and another touches a person's buttocks. In the center, a figure sits on the barrel with one leg crossed over the other. On the right, a figure plays a horn-like instrument and another touches their face. A child lies on the ground in front of the barrel. The background features a tree with fruit and foliage. The image is in black and white. The drawing style is detailed and features many lines. The image is bordered with a light-colored frame.
