Framed lithograph, fresco from the Domus Aurea of Nero (Rome). Engraved by Carlo Romano, based on a design by Francesco Smuglewicz. Painted lithograph showing a frame of grotesques with vegetal elements and mythological creatures in the corners and a seated male figure in the centre of the composition, perhaps Bacchus given the presence of vine leaves. The work follows a design by Francesco Smuglewicz, made from frescoes found in the 18th century in the Domus Aurea of the Roman Emperor Nero.
