About the piece
Painted in 1876, Édouard Manet's 'A Parisian Lady' is a masterclass in tonal control and the use of black. The subject is depicted with a confident presence, her dark silhouette striking a dramatic pose against a textured, neutral grey backdrop that exemplifies the artist's move toward Impressionism and his focus on contemporary life.
