"Hélène" (1892) by French painter Henri Fantin-Latour, depicts a scene of mythological inspiration. The composition features a reclining nude female figure, presumably Helen of Troy, in a landscape with a group of figures that could be interpreted as spectators or suitors. The painting, likely inspired by classical themes, showcases Fantin-Latour's mastery of brushwork and his penchant for portraying a sense of narrative and drama.
