Isa Tyde, La belle Irlandaise c. 1890

"Isa Tyde, La belle Irlandaise" is a painting of a young woman in a white gown, holding a fan, by the French artist Jean-Louis Forain. The painting was created around 1890. The artist was known for his satirical drawings, and this painting, while depicting a beautiful young woman, could be interpreted as a comment on the society of the time. The loose brushstrokes and the muted colors are characteristic of Forain's style. The painting is thought to depict Isa Tyde, an Irish actress who was well known in Paris in the late 19th century.
