Evocation of Kundry (2nd plate) is a 1883 ink by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman with her arms raised, dressed in a long, flowing robe. Her face is blurred, and the background looks like a dark, textured cave or tunnel with faint light at the top. To the right, a small open book lies on a ledge, half-hidden in shadow. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest movement and emotion. This style was common in late 19th-century prints. Next, check out lithography to see how this technique works.
Ignace Henri Jean Theodore Fantin-Latour (French pronunciation: ; 14 January 1836 – 25 August 1904) was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers.
