About the piece

Painted in 1882, this oil portrait depicts Méry Laurent, a frequent muse of Édouard Manet. The work showcases Manet's late Impressionist style, characterized by loose, gestural brushwork and a mastery of subtle tonal shifts. The striking contrast between the deep tones of her hat and fur and the luminous skin tones creates a timeless, chic composition perfect for gallery-style display.
