"Portrait of Madame Ditte-Harmite" is a pencil drawing by Jean-Baptiste Isabey, completed in 1825. The drawing depicts Madame Ditte-Harmite, a prominent figure of the time, in a portrait format. The subject is rendered in an oval frame, with a delicate touch and detailed shading, characteristic of Isabey's style. Her hair is elaborately styled, adorned with a jewel, and she is dressed in elegant attire. The drawing, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Isabey's mastery of portraiture during the early 19th century.
