Joseph Fagnani

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white painting of a woman titled "Thalia" by Joseph Fagnani. The woman has dark hair pulled back with a headband-like adornment with flowers. She wears a light-colored, off-the-shoulder dress with a thin strap on one shoulder and a tattoo on the other. The woman's left arm is bent at the elbow with her hand on her chest, while her right hand holds a mask below her. The background includes a column and the Greek word "ΘΑΛΕΙΑ" is written in the top left corner.
