Le Violon d'Ingres is a black-and-white photograph taken by the American visual artist Man Ray in 1924. One of the best-known works of Surrealist photography, it was first published in the Surrealist magazine Littérature in June 1924. It shows the French model Kiki de Montparnasse from the back, nude to below her waist and wearing a turban. Two f-holes are painted on her back to make her body resemble a violin.Photograph credit: Man Ray
