Bacchante in a Landscape

1865–70
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 803
This painting is closely related to Bacchante by the Sea, also in the Museum’s collection, which is dated 1865. However, the anatomy of the figure is not resolved and the sketchiness suggests that it is not a finished work, despite the signature.
