Le Mage Balthazar et Fatime

Henri Fantin-Latour

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures, potentially women, depicted from the waist up. One figure is seated on a bench leaning slightly forward towards the other figure. The second figure stands next to her, one arm reaching upward and the other wrapped around the seated figure. The facial features are not clearly defined due to the sketch-like texture of the artwork. Both figures have long, flowing hair and wear draped, flowing garments. The background has a dark, textured pattern, suggesting a natural or outdoor setting. There is subtle light indicating either dawn or dusk. The figures do not hold any objects or wear jewelry.
