MANET, Edouard: Portrait of Madame Jacob

🖼 Portrait of Madame Jacob, 1880
Pastel
54 × 49 cm
Paris, France

Soft brushwork captures an elegant woman in subtle grays and blacks, her gaze direct yet contemplative. Manet's late portrait demonstrates his mastery of psychological realism, bridging Impressionism and modern portraiture through restrained palette and penetrating characterization.
