The Bat Woman by Pénot: a winged apparition
This reproduction of The Bat Woman by Albert Joseph Pénot presents a fantastical painting dated to around 1890 in Sotheby’s catalogue. A nude female figure appears frontally, her arms raised and her wings spread wide. Her pale body stands out against a dark, cloud-filled sky.
A luminous figure between two dark wings
The body occupies the painting’s vertical axis. The arms and hair continue the upward movement, while the wings extend the composition to either side. Their jagged edges contrast with the softer modelling of the figure. The close-set feet and the absence of visible ground create an impression of suspension in the air.
The gaze directed at the viewer strengthens this frontal presence. In the upper left, a lighter area of sky balances the dark masses. Much of the painting’s effect comes from a few contrasts: light and darkness, the body’s verticality and the breadth of the wings, human forms and animal attributes.
A fantastical image open to interpretation
The meeting of a human figure and bat wings places the scene in the realm of the imagination. The title guides our reading without telling a complete story. It might suggest an unsettling apparition or a figure undergoing metamorphosis; these interpretations arise from the composition and remain open.
Sotheby’s catalogue describes the original as an oil on canvas measuring 100 × 60 cm. These dimensions refer to the original painting; the reproduction’s size can be selected from the options on this page.

You can also discover The Feather Headband, another work by Pénot available in the same collection, and choose which images to bring together in your interior.
A reproduction for an interior with a fantastical character
The vertical format suits a narrow stretch of wall or a space where the whole image can be appreciated. In a library, study or living room, a restrained setting gives the contrast between body and wings room to stand out. A light wall emphasises the image’s outlines, while deeper tones complement its atmosphere.
