LEHMANN, Henri
(b. 1814, Kiel, d. 1882, Paris)

Female Nude: La Source

1840s
Oil on board, 41 x 31 cm
Private collection

This picture is related to a larger multi-figural composition called Les Baigneuses which Lehmann painted while in Rome and exhibited at the 1842 Salon. The classically posed and idealized female nude is clearly inspired by Ingres's The Source in the Louvre.
