Portrait of Édouard Manet 1867 - 1880

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Portrait of Édouard Manet" is a graphite drawing on paper that depicts the French painter Édouard Manet, known for his Impressionist and Realist works. Created between 1867 and 1880, the drawing shows Manet in a top hat and coat, holding a cane. The composition is simple, focusing on Manet's likeness and his confident stance. This portrait, now at The Art Institute of Chicago, provides insight into the relationship between the two artists.
