This charcoal drawing titled *Bacchus* by Henk Henriët, a Dutch artist, is a study for a larger painting and portrays the Roman god of wine and revelry, Bacchus. The artwork is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and it likely dates back to the 1930s or 1940s. The drawing features the head and shoulders of Bacchus, depicted as a full-figured man, his head adorned with a wreath of grapes. The work is rendered in a loose, gestural style, capturing the essence of the subject with a few expressive strokes.
