White plaster statuette of a nude woman on a rock, with a curly-haired man leaning over her and a small child at right.

Bacchus Consoling Ariadne

A white plaster statuette shows a nude female figure seated on a rocky base, her body turned as a male figure with curly hair leans over her from behind. A small child figure stands at the right, looking up toward them. The textured surface and twisting poses give the composition a sense of movement and emotion.
