1892
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Sarah la Baigneuse is a 1892 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing in water, her body turned slightly as she holds up one arm. Her hair streams behind her like wet fabric, and the trees in the background are dark and tangled. The whole scene is drawn in loose, quick lines—no smooth shapes, just rough strokes. The artist left her face mostly hidden, focusing on the movement of her body and the water. This was made in 1892, when artists were playing with light and everyday moments. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch 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.
