From the collection of Kunsthaus Zürich
Madame La Suire is a 1894 oil by Albert von Keller, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a woman in a long, white dress with a red shawl draped over her shoulders. The shawl features a dark brown fur trim, and the woman's hands are clasped together in front of her. She stands against a dark background, which appears to be a wall or curtain. The woman's face is blurred, making it difficult to discern her features. Her attire and posture suggest that she may be a member of the upper class or aristocracy. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of elegance and refinement.
