The God is carrying the young Dionysus to the Nymphs, who will raise him. He is resting against the trunk of a tree, on which he has thrown his tunic and is resting his left hand, which holds the child. With great skill the artist has rendered the naked form of the young man and the head of the god, with short curly hair, dreamy eyes and small mouth. It is the work of the famous Athenian sculptor, Praxitelis. Museum of Olympia
