"Mademoiselle Granier" is a pastel portrait by the French artist Paul César Helleu (1859–1927). Helleu is known for his captivating portraits of elegant women, often rendered in soft, pastel tones. This piece captures the delicate beauty of a young girl, perhaps a member of a Parisian high society family, with soft, nuanced colors and a gentle expression. Helleu's mastery of pastel allowed him to achieve a remarkable level of realism, highlighting the subject's subtle features and delicate skin.
