Kuivalainen comments –
This is a half-naked young Bacchus persecuted by Lycurgus, fleeing into the sea and to the safety of Thetis. The billowing cloak is also sometimes depicted in paintings of the discovery of Ariadne and meeting other humans. The gestures here are noteworthy for expressing feelings: Thetis anxious, Bacchus calm and having almost reached safety, as the touching arms indicate; the maenad is trying to protect herself, while checking on the progress of the other two. Most probably there were other figures in the destroyed part.
