On the right, a youth (young half-naked Bacchus) is standing with his weight on his right foot and his outstretched arm above a panther; his lower body is covered with a greenish-grey cloak, the sleeve of which is on his left arm. The panther is painted in movement forwards and light tones, with only the fore part of the body visible; its back is behind the youth.” See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, (p.108-9, C4).
