Portrait of Marguerite Gauthier‑Lathuille is a half‑length oil painting by French artist Édouard Manet, dated around 1878. The work is an oil on canvas and now belongs to the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, which bought it in 1902. Manet never had the sitter sit for the final picture; he worked from his own sketches. He created the portrait as a gift for her father, so it carries a personal note beyond the usual commission. If you’re curious about more of his work, check out the artist: Édouard Manet.
