Mainads or Maenads, also known as Bacchae, are figures from Greek mythology. They are nymphs who accompany and worship Dionysos (god of wine, pleasure and dance). They are often depicted with a crown of vines. They are known as possessed women ("in Bacchian rapture") who perform wild dances and give in to coarse violence, sex, drink and mutilation.
Here the mythical woman is seductively modelled on the artwork with a dress of gold with a deep cleavage.
William Etty (York, 10 March 1787 - 13 November 1849) was an English painter. He is considered to be part of the Romantic movement and became best known as a painter of historical and mythological works with many nudes.
