About the piece
Painted around 1830 by the celebrated English artist William Etty, this luminous oil study depicts a follower of Bacchus. The subject is captured with a soft, ethereal glow, her hair and neck decorated with ripe clusters of grapes and verdant leaves that symbolize abundance and celebration. Etty's masterful handling of flesh tones and light brings a sense of life and warmth to this classical mythological subject.
