EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Reading: Portrait of the Artist's Sister, 1897". Henri Fantin-Latour invites us into a moment of quiet contemplation. The French artist, known for his exquisite still-life paintings and portraits, showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of his subject. The portrait depicts a young woman engrossed in her reading, completely absorbed by the world within the pages. Her delicate features are illuminated by soft light that filters through an unseen window, casting gentle shadows on her face. Fantin-Latour's attention to detail is evident in every stroke as he meticulously renders each strand of hair and intricate lacework adorning her dress. Through this intimate portrayal of his sister, the artist not only captures her likeness but also conveys a sense of serenity and introspection. As viewers, we are invited to join her in this private moment and perhaps even imagine ourselves immersed in our own favorite book. Fantin-Latour's lithograph serves as a testament to his technical skill and ability to evoke emotion through art. It reminds us of the power that literature holds to transport us beyond our immediate surroundings into worlds unknown. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to bring home a piece of artistic history while celebrating both the beauty found within everyday moments and the enduring bond between siblings.
