Bacchante leading ears; beside her the Sun 

"Bacchante leading ears; beside her the Sun" is an etching by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Piranesi is known for his architectural drawings and etchings of Roman ruins, but he also produced many other works, including this one. The drawing depicts a Bacchante, a follower of the god Bacchus, who is often associated with revelry and wine. The Bacchante is holding a bunch of grapes, and the sun is shining brightly behind her. Piranesi’s interest in classical mythology is evident in this drawing, which is a fine example of his masterful use of line and detail.
