About the piece
Painted around 1885, this portrait of the artist's wife, Hortense Fiquet, exemplifies Paul Cézanne's transition toward Post-Impressionism. The work is characterized by its thoughtful, melancholic expression and a palette of cool greys, greens, and deep blues, captured with the rhythmic, constructive brushstrokes for which Cézanne is renowned.
