"Young Thracian Woman Carrying the Head of Orpheus" is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in the late 19th century. This work is part of Moreau's extensive exploration of mythological and biblical subjects, through which he sought to express the spiritual and esoteric dimensions of human experience. The painting depicts a moment from the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, the legendary musician, poet, and prophet, whose music could charm all living things and even inanimate objects.

In the myth, after the death of his beloved wife Eurydice, Orpheus is dismembered by Maenads, the frenzied followers of Dionysus, for not honoring the god. His head and lyre, still singing mournful songs, are carried by the river to the island of Lesbos. In Moreau's interpretation, a young Thracian woman is shown carrying Orpheus's severed head, an image that evokes themes of tragedy, beauty, and the transcendence of art.

Moreau's painting is characterized by its richly detailed and decorative style, typical of his approach to Symbolism. He employs a vibrant palette and intricate patterns to create a dreamlike atmosphere, imbuing the scene with a sense of otherworldly mystique. The young woman is often depicted with an expression of serene detachment, suggesting a complex interplay between life and death, and the enduring power of Orpheus's art even in the face of his own mortality.

"Young Thracian Woman Carrying the Head of Orpheus" is considered an important work within Moreau's oeuvre, reflecting his fascination with the transformative potential of myth and his desire to probe the depths of the human psyche. The painting is held in high regard for its exquisite craftsmanship and its ability to capture the imagination, drawing viewers into a meditative contemplation of the eternal themes that Moreau sought to portray.
