About the piece

Created around 1860 by the French master Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, this painting is a luminous example of 19th-century mythological subjects. The work depicts a bacchante reclining gracefully in a muted landscape, her arm raised holding a small bird, while a child riding a panther creates a sense of dynamic movement in the background. The earthy palette and soft, painterly technique are hallmark traits of Corot's late style.
