"Faustine Léo" is a portrait of a young girl painted in 1842 by the French artist Henri Lehmann (1814-1882). This realist painting depicts Faustine Léo, a young woman who is dressed in a pink gown and a wreath of leaves and flowers. The girl is presented in a portrait format against a tranquil background of a landscape, showing a river, a bridge, and a hilly background. The painting is a testament to Lehmann's skill in depicting the beauty of youth and the natural world.
