To Berlioz (Small Plate) is a 1895 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman lying on a rock or ledge, looking tired. Behind her, a bust of a man sits on a pedestal. The drawing is mostly in black and white, with soft shading to show shapes. At the bottom, there’s a short line of sheet music labeled *Lélio*. Notice how the artist used light and shadow to make the figures stand out. The music suggests this might be tied to a composer named Berlioz. 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.
