Description
Content (description)
Silenus, bearded and wearing an ivy leaf on his head and a drape which is falling from him, collapses drunkenly, while a small satyr attempts to support him, bracing himself against a rock on left. The satyr, who turns his back to the viewer, has a skin slung diagonally across his torso. A second small satyr on right lifts Silenus' drape and carries a wineskin over his shoulder
