Madame Edouard Manet (Suzanne Leenhoff, 1829–1906) 1870 - 1876

"Madame Edouard Manet" is a portrait by French artist Edouard Manet, painted between 1870 and 1876. The portrait depicts Suzanne Leenhoff, Manet's wife, dressed in a grey coat and wearing a wide-brimmed black hat. The painting is characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness with a sense of immediacy. The work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. The relaxed pose and informal composition showcase Manet's shift towards a more modern approach to portraiture, influenced by Impressionism.
