Madame Besnard is a 1884 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting features a woman with short, dark hair, wearing a white dress with puffy sleeves. She sits at a table, facing right, with her left arm resting on the table and her right arm out of view. The background is a dark, textured wall. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a late 19th-century setting. The artist's use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists associated with the Impressionism movement, who sought to capture everyday life and modernity in their art.
