Letitia Felix is a 1898 by Clarence H. White, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting features a woman standing in front of a brick building, wearing a long dress and a hat. The scene is set on a cobblestone street with trees in the background. The woman's attire and the setting suggest a late 19th-century urban environment. The artist has captured the play of light and shadow on the woman's face and clothing, adding depth to the scene. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, is evident in this painting.

Clarence Hudson White was an American photographer, teacher and a founding member of the Photo-Secession movement.
