Le Violon d'Ingres

Le Violon d'Ingres (French for Ingres' Violin) is a black-and-white photograph created by American visual artist Man Ray in 1924. It is one of his best-known photographs and of surrealist photography. The picture was first published in the Surrealist magazine Littérature in June 1924. It shows model Kiki de Montparnasse from the back, nude to below her waist, with two f-holes painted on to draw similarities between the shape of her body and a violin.
