The Evening Star is a 1877 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a lone figure sitting on a rock by water at dusk. The person is wrapped in a dark coat, their face turned slightly away. The sky is a soft, smudged gray, blending into the darker water below. The artist used loose brushstrokes to create a quiet, dreamy mood. The title, *The Evening Star*, hints at the fading light.
