Portrait of Marie-Louise, Duchess of Parma is a 1812 by François Gérard, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a woman, likely from the early 19th century. She is depicted wearing a dark dress with a high neckline and a white ruffled collar. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she has a neutral expression on her face. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest that she is a member of the upper class or nobility. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and dimension in the painting, with the woman's face and clothing standing out against a muted background.
