Henri Fantin-Latour (1836 – 1904)
Discover Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904), French painter of exquisite still lifes, flower paintings & intimate portraits of Parisian artists & writers. Explore his blend of Realism & Symbolism.
A notebook kept by Fantin’s wife is said to record the circumstances surrounding this picture. The sitter called herself Mme Leroy, a name the artist suspected was false; and she insisted on paying for her portrait in advance. She was accompanied to some of her sittings by an American named Becker, who also commissioned a likeness of himself from Fantin, dated the following year (Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, Mass.). The couple’s full identities, and the nature of their relationship, remain unknown.
