“Bacchante” is an oil painting on canvas created by William-Adolphe Bouguereau in 1894. This work, associated with the Academicism art movement, belongs to the portrait genre and measures 152.4 x 88.9 cm. Currently, it resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene young woman seated beside a marble column, leisurely holding a goblet and a jar of wine. She is garbed in flowing, classical attire with a delicate shawl draped over her shoulders. Surrounding her are lush green leaves, evocatively framing her figure and infusing the scene with a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. The woman’s gentle smile and relaxed posture convey a sense of contentment and ease, characteristic of Bouguereau’s masterful portrayal of feminine grace and elegance.
