Jeanne Calvet 1865

"Jeanne Calvet" is a portrait painting by Jules Breton, a French painter known for his depictions of rural life. The painting, created in 1865, is a small-scale work showcasing a young woman in profile, her face framed by a simple white cap. Breton's signature and the subject's name are subtly inscribed at the bottom, adding a personal touch. The painting’s simple composition, muted palette, and realistic depiction of Jeanne's features reflect Breton's focus on portraying the dignity and beauty of everyday life, particularly within the context of rural Brittany.
