Homage to Rossini by Henri Fantin-Latour shows a sepia-toned drawing of five women. The women are standing and sitting in a grouping that suggests movement. Three of the women are nude or semi-nude, while the other two appear to be wearing flowing dresses. The woman on the right appears to have large wings. The woman on the far left and the one in the middle appear to be holding hands with the centrally seated woman who holds a wreath or crown. The woman second from the right stands center with one arm raised above her head and the other at her side. The drawing's background appears to be filled with dark, impressionistic trees or foliage.
