Portrait of Madame Suzanne Potre is a 1905 unspecified by Unknown, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a woman with curly hair, wearing a light-colored dress with a low neckline and puffy sleeves. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she has a subtle smile on her face. The background of the painting is a plain wall with a darker section behind the woman's head. The woman's dress appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly silk or cotton, and is adorned with a small flower or brooch at the neckline. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and dress.
