About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Émile Friant, this masterfully executed oil portrait captures Madame Coquelin Mère with remarkable realism. The sitter's gentle expression and weathered hands are rendered with deep empathy, framed by delicate black lace and set against a muted interior background punctuated by a bold sliver of red drapery.
