With a delicate garland adorning her head and cymbals in hand, she exudes an air of enchantment against the dark backdrop within a rectangular frame. Created between 1795-1820 by Aloysio Cunego, this piece titled "Baccante dell Ercolano" showcases the artist's mastery of engraving.

Her full-length figure is beautifully captured amidst a sea of flowers and plants that symbolize nature's connection to music and celebration. As she plays her cymbals with grace and fervor, one can almost hear the rhythmic melodies echoing through time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork speaks volumes about Italy's rich artistic heritage during the 18th century.
