Portrait of Laure Fle 1898

Theo van Rysselberghe's "Portrait of Laure Fle" (1898) is a striking example of the artist's signature pointillist style. The work depicts a woman in a white dress, her figure rendered with thousands of tiny dots of color. The use of pointillism creates a shimmering effect, as if the light is bouncing off the subject. The background, with its subtle hints of green and yellow, creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's meticulous technique and the portrait's elegant subject combine to make "Portrait of Laure Fle" a captivating example of late 19th-century portraiture.
