A rite or orgy in honor of Bacchus, Bacchanalia. The priestess plays a double flute (tibia or aolus), crazed men hold torches and tympanum, while a winged genius hovers above - probably Acratus. Copperplate engraving by Thomas Kirk (1765-1797) from Sir William Hamiltons Outlines from the Figures and Compositions upon the Greek, Roman and Etruscan Vases of the Late Sir Hamilton, T. MLean, London, 1834.
