Bacchus and Ariadne

Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A painting of two people, a man and a woman. The man, on the left, is semi-nude with an orange cloth draped over his left shoulder and around his waist. He has curly brown hair adorned with a green wreath. His right arm is outstretched and his left hand rests on the woman's arm. The woman sits on the right, wearing a white dress with gold trim and a gold sash around her waist. Her dress has a yellow underlay and she wears her light brown hair in a low bun. She looks up at the man with her right arm outstretched and her left hand resting on her knee. The background shows a blue sky with pink clouds and a green area below. The painting is framed by a black border.
