Prelude to Lohengrin

Henri Fantin-Latour

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a religious scene. A central female figure with wings stands with arms raised above her head, holding a cup or chalice. She wears a simple long dress. Around her are several other female figures, some with wings, looking up at her. One kneels in the foreground, reaching out a hand towards the central figure. A man in a dark coat and hat looks up at the central figure from below. The background is hazy and cloudy. The overall mood appears reverent or mystical.
