Bather Standing is a 1879 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman’s back and side, standing with her arms crossed. Her hair is loose, and she faces away from us. The background looks like a rough, dark forest with a few faint shapes—maybe trees or bushes. The artist used only black and white, making the light on her skin stand out sharply. The texture looks like it was made by scratching into a surface, almost like a sketch that’s been etched. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
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.
