Regrets is a 1826 oil by Claude-Marie Dubufe, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a white dress, sitting on a bed with her hand on her head. She has dark hair and is looking at the viewer with a sad expression. Her dress is off the shoulder, and she is holding a gold rope in her other hand. The woman is sitting on a white bed with a red curtain behind her. The room is dimly lit, and the only light comes from the right side of the painting. The woman's face and body are illuminated, while the rest of the room is in shadow. The artist uses chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and emotion in the painting. The contrast between light and dark emphasizes the woman's sadness and regret.
Claude-Marie-Paul Dubufe (1790–1864) a French historical, genre and portrait painter, was born in Paris in 1790, and studied under Jacques-Louis David.
