The Water Genius

Henri Fantin-Latour

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Water Genius by Henri Fantin-Latour: A grayscale drawing of a woman with dark hair, turned to the left, with her right arm raised and bent at the elbow. Her body is partially submerged in water, with waves and ripples around her. The woman's facial features are visible, with her head tilted slightly upwards. The background consists of more water with varying shades of gray, indicating depth and texture. The drawing is detailed, with visible brushstrokes or stippling that contribute to its overall texture. The image is framed by a light-colored border around the edges.
