After training in Rome, Mola spent much of his early career in Venice and then Bologna. This is a study for one of the first paintings that Mola executed on his return to Rome in 1647, a fresco in Palazzo Costaguti, depicting the god Bacchus greeting Ariadne on the island of Naxos after she had been abandoned by Theseus.
