"The Damnation of Faust: The Appearance of Marguerite" is a black and white lithograph by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, created in 1888. This artwork depicts a scene from the famous German legend of Faust, where Marguerite, the innocent young woman, is seduced by the devil. Fantin-Latour masterfully conveys the tragedy of Marguerite's fate through the use of subtle shading and the juxtaposition of light and dark. This lithograph is held in the Art Institute of Chicago, a significant American art museum.
