Self-Portrait as Bacchus

About this work

This painting shows a young man sitting at a table, holding a bunch of grapes in his right hand. He is wearing a white cloth wrapped around his waist and a wreath of leaves on his head. The table in front of him has more fruit on it, including peaches and grapes. The man's skin is tan, and his hair is dark and curly. He is looking over his left shoulder, and his expression is calm. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the man and the fruit stand out. The artist of this painting is Caravaggio.
