About the piece

Painted in 1719 by Dutch master Herman van der Mijn, this work depicts a Bacchante—a follower of Bacchus, the god of wine. The figure is rendered with sophisticated chiaroscuro, emerging from a dark, rocky background with porcelain skin and masterfully executed drapery in a saturated lapis blue.
