About the piece
Painted in 1876, Édouard Manet’s portrait of his friend, the French poet Stéphane Mallarmé, is a cornerstone of Impressionist character study. The loose, energetic brushwork and moody, muted palette evoke a sense of intimate intellectual life, depicting the sitter reclined with a cigar and an open book.
