Portrait de Madame Claus 1900

"Portrait de Madame Claus" (1900) by Emile Claus (1849-1924) is a portrait of a woman seated at a table. The woman, likely the artist's wife, is dressed in a light-colored dress and has her hand on her chin, looking off to the side. The painting showcases Claus' mastery of light and color, creating a soft and ethereal atmosphere. The loose brushwork and muted colors of the artwork are characteristic of the Impressionist style, which Claus incorporated into his own unique artistic vision.
