Bacchante dancing with castanets 

Giovanni Battista Piranesi's "Bacchante dancing with castanets" is a detailed etching depicting a Bacchante, a female follower of the god Bacchus, in mid-air, her flowing robes creating a sense of motion. Her lively expression and the castanets in her hands suggest a celebratory dance. The lower portion of the etching features a smaller scene with putti, or cherubs, engaging in playful activities related to the sea. Piranesi's meticulous attention to detail and use of line are characteristic of his style, which often drew inspiration from classical Roman architecture and mythology.
