The painting was exhibited with an extract from the following poem:
'And in the vats of Luna,
This year the must shall foam
Round the white feet of laughing girls
Whose sires have marched to Rome'.

The Times noted with approval that the painting was 'a rare example of pictorial use made of a good subject which is contemporary as well as antique.'
