La jeune malade 1903

"La jeune malade" (The Young Patient), a 1903 lithograph by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904), portrays a young woman in a flowing dress standing amidst a dense, shadowy background. The figure's delicate features and soft, flowing lines create a sense of fragility and ethereal beauty. The artwork's title suggests a theme of illness or suffering, which is amplified by the somber tones and the woman's pensive expression. This is a work that exemplifies Fantin-Latour's signature style, known for its meticulous attention to detail and evocative use of light and shadow.
