Madame Lerolle 1882

"Madame Lerolle" is a portrait painting by the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, created in 1882. The painting depicts a woman, presumably Madame Lerolle, standing in a simple, elegant pose, with her hand resting on a table. The subject is dressed in a flowing white gown and holds a bouquet of pink roses in her other hand. Fantin-Latour was known for his realistic style and attention to detail, which is evident in the subtle nuances of light and shadow. This work exemplifies his mastery of portraiture, capturing the subject's refined beauty and quiet grace.
