Portrait of Zélie Courbet 1847

"Portrait of Zélie Courbet" is an oil painting on canvas by the French Realist painter Gustave Courbet, completed in 1847. The work depicts Zélie Courbet, the artist’s sister, in a close-up view, her head turned slightly, her hand resting thoughtfully on her cheek. The portrait showcases Courbet's signature style, which emphasizes realism and a direct, unidealized depiction of the subject. The work is currently housed at the Museo de Arte de Sao Paulo in Brazil.
