A Bacchante

John La Farge

A woman with fair skin and light-colored curly hair wearing a flowing white dress with a V-neck, the dress has ruffles at the bottom and is wrapped around her left leg. She stands on a pile of purple grapes with her right arm raised and bent at the elbow, her left arm holding a tall staff with pink and green ribbons and a bunch of flowers at the top. A green vine and a pink ribbon are behind her. The background is blue.
