拍品專文

A later, larger version of this work belongs to the City Art Museum of St. Louis and is one of three that Fantin-Latour submitted to the Salon of 1859. This was his first submission and all three were rejected. Nathalie, the figure on the left, became gravely ill after this portrait was painted and was committed by her father to the Maison Nationale de Casenton after being diagnosed as suffering from mental illness.
