About the piece
Painted in 1892 by Achille Laugé, this full-length portrait of Madame Astre is a masterful example of the French Neo-Impressionist style. Using a refined pointillist technique, Laugé constructs the figure and surrounding space through thousands of small dots of color, creating a shimmering, atmospheric effect that captures both light and texture with quiet precision.
