A bacchante seen in profile facing left, with outstretched left arm holding her drapery, set against a black background inside a rectangular frame 1790 - 1825

This 19th-century print by Antonio Ricciani, titled “A Bacchante dell’ Erevano”, depicts a female figure in a flowing drapery against a black background, likely representing a Bacchante, a female follower of the Roman god Bacchus. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the drapery's folds and the figure's graceful pose. This print is a fine example of Neoclassical art, a movement that drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art, and its stark composition and emphasis on form reflect this influence. The print is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
