"Ariadne" is an oil painting by the American artist Wyatt Eaton (1849–1896), created in 1883. The artwork is a representation of the mythological figure Ariadne, known from Greek mythology as the daughter of King Minos of Crete and the lover of the hero Theseus. Eaton's portrayal of Ariadne is emblematic of the 19th-century academic art style, which emphasized classical themes, realism, and a polished technique.

In the painting, Ariadne is depicted in a moment of solitude and contemplation, possibly after being abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos, as the myth narrates. The work captures the emotional depth of the character, reflecting the abandonment and sorrow that are central to her story. Eaton's use of color, light, and texture contribute to the overall melancholic atmosphere of the piece, while also showcasing his skill in rendering the human form and drapery.

Wyatt Eaton was a member of the Society of American Artists and is known for his contributions to portraiture and figure painting. "Ariadne" is considered one of his significant works, as it exemplifies his interest in classical subject matter and his ability to convey complex emotions through his art. The painting is a testament to Eaton's place within the American art scene of the late 19th century and his engagement with the broader trends of academic art of the period.

The painting has been exhibited in various art institutions and is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. "Ariadne" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and mythological interests that influenced the art of the Gilded Age in America.
