Jacob de Wit's "Apollo umgeben von Bacchus, Ceres, Flora und anderen Gottheiten" (Apollo surrounded by Bacchus, Ceres, Flora and other deities), is a pen and brown ink drawing on paper. The drawing depicts a scene of the Roman god Apollo surrounded by other deities such as Bacchus, Ceres, and Flora, all floating on clouds. The drawing is a preparatory sketch for a fresco or ceiling decoration. The loose, gestural lines of the drawing show de Wit's artistic style, which is known for its dynamic compositions and expressive figures. This type of preparatory drawing was common in the Baroque and Rococo periods. The drawing is now held in the Städel Museum.
