"A Druidess" (French: "Une druidesse") is a notable painting created in 1868 by the acclaimed French artist Alexandre Cabanel. Renowned for his academic style and his contributions to the 19th-century art scene, Cabanel was a prominent figure in the French art world, particularly known for his historical, religious, and mythological subjects. "A Druidess" exemplifies his meticulous attention to detail, his mastery of the human form, and his ability to convey narrative through visual art.

The painting depicts a female druid, a member of the ancient Celtic priestly class, who were known for their roles as religious leaders, legal authorities, and custodians of knowledge. In this work, Cabanel captures the mystique and solemnity associated with druidic traditions. The druidess is portrayed in a serene, contemplative pose, adorned in flowing robes that suggest both her status and the era's romanticized view of ancient Celtic culture. Her expression is one of introspection, perhaps hinting at the spiritual and intellectual depth attributed to druids.

Cabanel's use of light and shadow in "A Druidess" enhances the ethereal quality of the scene, creating a sense of otherworldliness that aligns with the mystical nature of the subject. The background, though subdued, complements the figure, allowing her to stand out as the focal point of the composition. The painting reflects the 19th-century fascination with ancient cultures and the revival of interest in pre-Christian European traditions.

"A Druidess" was well-received in its time, contributing to Cabanel's reputation as a leading artist of his generation. Today, it remains an important work within his oeuvre, illustrating his skill in blending historical themes with a refined, academic approach to painting. The piece continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance, offering insight into both the artist's vision and the broader 19th-century European artistic milieu.
