Woman with a Muff (La Dame au Manchon) is a 1892 ink by Émile Bernard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman in a long dress and hat, holding a muff. The woman is shown in profile, facing to the right. She is wearing a dark dress with a light-colored collar and a hat adorned with flowers. Her right hand is holding a muff, which is resting on her left arm. The background of the image is a solid dark pink color, which provides a striking contrast to the woman's dark dress. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance. This woodcut print is reminiscent of the work of Emile Bernard, a French painter and printmaker who was associated with the Impressionist and Realist movements.
Émile Henri Bernard (French pronunciation: ; 28 April 1868 – 16 April 1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and writer, who had artistic friendships with Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Eugène Boch, and at a later time, Paul Cézanne.
