Portrait of Madame Monnon 1919

"Portrait of Madame Monnon" is a 1919 oil on canvas painting by Belgian artist Theo van Rysselberghe. It depicts a woman, likely Madame Monnon, in a seated pose, wearing a dark dress and a white lace collar. The painting is a striking example of van Rysselberghe's style, which is characterized by its Impressionistic use of color and brushstrokes, and a focus on capturing the essence of the sitter rather than a strict photographic likeness. This painting is a testament to van Rysselberghe's ability to portray the subtleties of human emotion through his artistic vision. The painting is currently housed in a private collection.
