Portrait of members of the Société libre des Beaux-Arts is a 1863 oil by Edmond Lambrichs, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
The painting depicts a group of men gathered around a table, with one man standing and the others seated. The men are dressed in formal attire, with dark suits and white shirts. The table is cluttered with papers, books, and other objects. In the foreground, a man is shown holding a pen and paper, while another man looks on intently. The background of the painting is a muted gray, which helps to focus attention on the figures in the foreground. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
Edmond Lambrichs (1830–1887) was an artist, born in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode.
