Portrait of Mme. Jule-Antoine Droz is a 1833 oil by Eugène Devéria, a French Romanticism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This portrait depicts a woman sitting in a red chair, adorned with a black dress and a floral headpiece. Her right hand rests on her lap, while her left hand is raised to her head, with her elbow resting on the back of the chair. The woman's attire is detailed, featuring a black dress with lace sleeves and a gold brooch. The background of the painting is dark, with a faint outline of a bust behind the woman. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. For more works by Eugène Devéria, explore his collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
