Ariane abandonnée is a 1900 unspecified by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, depicting Ariadne, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting features a woman sitting on a rocky outcropping, gazing out at the sea. She is nude except for a red cloth wrapped around her waist. Her left arm is raised above her head, and her long, curly hair is blowing in the wind. The woman's body is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in her facial expression and the folds of her clothing. The background of the painting is dominated by the sea, which is depicted in shades of blue and green. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's figure.
