This charcoal drawing by Gustave Courbet depicts a sleeping Bacchante, a female follower of the god Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, revelry, and theatre. The woman's head is tilted back, her eyes closed, and her hair is adorned with a wreath of leaves and grapes, highlighting her association with Bacchus. This drawing demonstrates Courbet's masterful use of charcoal to capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow, creating a sense of realism and depth.
