Kuivalainen comments –
“Instead of portraying Bacchus just discovering Ariadne, the situation here has already developed. He is drunk and making a pass at her. She is standing wide awake, looks a little surprised by the encounter with a tipsy looking stranger, and makes efforts to protect her modesty. The horizontal line is very high.”
