 At the 1820 Summer Exhibition , Etty exhibited two paintings : Drunken Barnaby and The Coral Finder : Venus and her Youthful Satellites Arriving at the Isle of Paphos . Drunken Barnaby is a scene of a drunken man being carried away from an inn while a barmaid looks on ; the barmaid is shown as sturdily built , plump and rosy @-@ cheeked , a style in which Etty would continue to paint women throughout his career . The Coral Finder is strongly inspired by Titian , and depicts Venus Victrix lying nude in a golden boat , surrounded by scantily clad attendants . It was Etty 's first use of the combination of nude figures and mythological or literary references for which he was to become famous .
