About the piece
Created around 1895 by Paul Émile Chabas, this portrait captures the French woman of letters Daniel Lesueur (Jeanne Loiseau). The work demonstrates a masterful handle of texture and tone, juxtaposing the soft luminosity of the sitter's skin against the deep textures of her fur collar and delicate lace, all set within a characteristically atmospheric, neutral background typical of Belle Époque portraiture.
