Bacchante Triste 

Alice Pike Barney’s "Bacchante Triste" is a portrait of a young woman with a wreath of green leaves and purple flowers adorning her head, the hazy background suggesting a soft, natural setting. The woman’s slightly melancholy expression, captured in a delicate pastel drawing, is typical of the dreamy aesthetic that characterized the early 20th-century symbolist movement, of which Barney was a noted exponent.
