Henri Fantin-Latour's "Harold in Italy: In the Mountains" is a black and white lithograph created in 1888, featuring a solitary figure in a mountainous landscape. This piece is part of a series of illustrations Fantin-Latour made for a popular novel of the time, which tells the story of an Englishman named Harold travelling through Italy. The artist’s striking use of shading and crosshatching creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the figure's isolation and contemplation. The lithograph is a testament to the artist's skill in conveying emotion and narrative through the medium of printmaking.
