Bacchus was the name adopted by the Romans for the god of wine, the grape harvest, etc; the equivalent of Dionysus in Greek mythology.
He is shown drinking from a vessel, next to the infant winged Cupid, (the Roman equivalent of Eros, the god of love), who has a ribbon slung across his body, indicating his symbolic bow and arrows.
He is dancing with abandon, accompanied by six plump putti.
