- The Bather (Henri Lehmann)
- This picture of a classically posed and idealized female nude standing near a seaside grotto appears to be related to a larger multi-figural composition called Les Baigneuses which Henri Lehmann painted while in Rome and exhibited at the 1842 Salon. That picture, which is now lost, but known through two engravings, represents four bathers relaxing in an idyllic waterside grove and was inspired by a passage in Victor Hugo's Les feuilles d'automne. --artnet http://www.flickr.com/photos/jahsonic/2953810329/]
