"A Bacchante" is a painting by Henrietta Rae (1859–1928), a prominent English artist known for her classical and allegorical works. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, the painting depicts a Bacchante, a female follower of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and festivity. Bacchantes were often portrayed in art as revelers associated with the wild and ecstatic celebrations known as Bacchanalia.

Rae's interpretation of the Bacchante theme reflects the Victorian fascination with classical mythology and the romanticism of ancient rituals. The painting is characterized by its vibrant colors and dynamic composition, capturing the movement and energy associated with the Bacchic rites. The central figure is typically shown with a carefree expression, embodying the spirit of freedom and nature, often surrounded by symbols of the god Bacchus, such as grapes, vines, and a thyrsus—a staff entwined with ivy and topped with a pinecone.

As a female artist in a male-dominated field, Henrietta Rae faced significant challenges in gaining recognition for her work. Despite this, she achieved considerable success during her lifetime and was a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Society of British Artists. "A Bacchante" is an example of her skill in capturing the essence of mythological subjects and contributing to the neoclassical revival in British art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of women in art, both as subjects and creators. Rae's work often featured strong and sensual female figures, challenging the more demure and domestic images of women prevalent in Victorian art. "A Bacchante" exemplifies Rae's commitment to portraying women as powerful and autonomous beings, reflecting broader changes in society regarding gender roles and the perception of femininity.

Today, "A Bacchante" is appreciated for its historical and cultural value, as well as its aesthetic qualities. It is a testament to Henrietta Rae's talent and her contribution to the art world at a time when female artists were striving for recognition and equality. The painting is held in a public or private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
