A bacchante wearing a hooded shawl and holding a box in her left hand, set against a black background inside a rectangular frame 1790 - 1825

This 19th century engraving by Antonio Ricciani, titled "Bacchante nell' Erebo," depicts a female figure, possibly a bacchante, draped in a flowing shawl, set against a dark background. The intricate details of the figure's flowing garments and the subtle shading add depth and a sense of motion. Ricciani's work, often showcasing themes of mythology and classical antiquity, is a testament to the enduring allure of classical subjects in Neoclassical art. "Bacchante nell' Erebo" is a prime example of the artist's mastery of engraving, capturing the essence of human form and movement with a sense of grace and elegance.
