"Bacchanten, sater en vrouw met druiven" is a black and white etching by Charles Théodore Bernier, created between 1881 and 1909. The print depicts a group of figures engaged in a scene of revelry and debauchery. A woman, likely a Bacchante, holds grapes, while a satyr stands behind her, his face obscured by a mask. A young boy sits on the shoulders of a large, muscular man, also likely a satyr. The scene is a testament to Bernier's mastery of the etching technique, with the artist's signature visible in the lower right corner. This piece exemplifies the artist's penchant for exploring themes of classic mythology and the human condition.
