Mignon desires her fatherland
Mignon desires her fatherland () is an 1836 painting by the Dutch-French artist Ary Scheffer. The picture depicts a young woman Mignon, inspired from a character in Goethe's 1795-96 novel "Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship". The 1866 Ambroise Thomas opera "Mignon" was based on the same character, and Scheffer's feminine representation of Mignon in a dress influenced her portrayal by Thomas. The painting currently hangs in the Dordrechts Museum in Dordrecht, Netherlands.
