(La Source)
A nude figure of a fair-haired young maiden stands facing the
spectator, the background being formed by a perpendicular rock
partly overgrown with clinging plants. She raises her right arm
over her head to hold the foot of a tilted vase, the mouth of which
is supported by her left hand, and from which issues a streamlet of
water that falls into a pool at the base of the rock, in which are
reflected the feet of the maiden.
Signed on a stone on the left:—“INGRES, 1856.”
Painted in oil on canvas.
