MANET, Edouard: Portrait of Stéphane Mallarmé

🖼 Portrait of Stéphane Mallarmé, 1876
Oil on canvas
28 × 36 cm

Soft brushwork captures a contemplative poet seated amid scattered papers, his gaze distant and introspective. Manet's intimate portrait celebrates the Symbolist movement and his friendship with Mallarmé, bridging Impressionism and modern literature through portraiture.
