Jean-Auguste-Dominique IngresLA SOURCE A young girl entirely nude stands facing us. Her right arm, bent over her head, holds an earthen vase poised on her left shoulder, the mouth of which rests on her left hand as the water pours from it into a pool at her feet. Behind is a rock. Charles Blanc considered this the most beautiful figure that had ever been painted by the French School.
( Originally Publihed 1910 )
