"Bacchanaal met herderspaar" (1622 - 1650) is a drawing by Italian artist Pietro Testa (1612 - 1650). The drawing depicts a scene of revelry in a wooded landscape, where a group of figures, including a shepherd couple, are engaged in joyous festivities. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Testa's skill in capturing the energy and movement of the scene through the expressive lines and lively poses of the figures. The drawing's composition and subject matter are characteristic of the Baroque period, a time when artists explored themes of passion, emotion, and theatricality.
