This is a drawing of a muscular, nude male figure standing in an arched niche holding a cup or goblet close to his face. Two smaller figures are at his side, one holding a bunch of grapes. The figure is crowned with cascades of grape vines and other leaves. Above the arch, two reclining figures flank the central text 'BACCHUS'. The drawing features meticulous line work and shading, creating a three-dimensional effect.
