Madame Manet (Suzanne Leenhoff, 1829–1906) at Bellevue

Edouard Manet

1880 · Oil on canvas · European Paintings

Despite the seemingly rapid brushwork and the summary treatment of detail, this painting was preceded by at least two drawings and an oil sketch. This is Manet's last portrait of his wife; it was painted at Bellevue, a suburb of Paris, where they spent the summer of 1880.
