Parisian Woman (The Effect of the Night) is a 1893 ink by Henri Boutet, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman in a long, dark dress standing in front of a wall, with a man in the background. The woman is positioned in the center of the image, facing to the left, while the man is standing behind her, facing to the right. The wall behind them features two lanterns and a sign. The image is rendered in muted tones, with the woman's dark dress standing out against the lighter-colored wall. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the woman lost in thought as she gazes off into the distance.
