Portrait of his daughter, Lisbeth is a 1894 oil by Eugène Carrière, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a young woman with her eyes closed, her head tilted slightly to the right. Her long, dark hair falls down her back, and she wears a dark dress with a high neckline. Her right hand is raised to her ear, with her fingers curled around it. The background is dark and indistinct, with no clear features visible. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. To learn more about this style, look up chiaroscuro.
