XXVII

Henri Fantin-Latour

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white drawing titled "XXVII" by Henri Fantin-Latour. The drawing is on gray paper with a darker grey rectangular area containing the main image. Inside the rectangle, a nude woman reclines on a surface, possibly a couch or a pile of rocks, with her left arm raised and bent at the elbow, and her right arm down by her side. The woman's face is not clearly visible. The woman's body is rendered in various shades of gray, with the lightest areas on her torso and limbs. The background of the rectangle is shaded darkly with many short lines. The woman's signature appears to be at the bottom center of the rectangle. To the right of the rectangle is a smaller, fainter drawing of a standing nude woman with long hair, facing left. The background of the paper is light gray, with a small notation at the top center. The overall style of the drawing is detailed and realistic.
