"Sater en bacchante" is an etching by Alexander (II) Voet from before 1695. This artwork depicts a satyr and a bacchante, a female follower of the god Bacchus, who are depicted in a passionate embrace. The satyr's horns and beard, along with the grapes and fruit, suggest a focus on the revelry associated with Bacchus and his worship. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of the figures and the sense of movement captured. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
