Portrait de Madame Manet is a 1875 oil by Edouard Manet, a Impressionism work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
The painting depicts a woman with dark hair, dressed in a black coat and white blouse, set against a grey background. Her face is blurred, and she appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The use of muted colors and soft brushstrokes creates a sense of subtlety and restraint. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Édouard Manet, a French artist known for his innovative use of light and shadow.
