About the piece

Painted around 1885, this intimate portrait of the artist's wife, Hortense Fiquet, exemplifies Paul Cézanne's structural approach to form and color. The muted tonal palette and rhythmic, deliberate brushstrokes create a sense of quiet permanence, typical of his masterful contributions to the Post-Impressionist movement.
