Portrait of madame Jolicler, née Lydie Chenoz is a 1858 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, depicting Woman, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
This painting is a portrait of a woman, facing left. She has dark hair and is wearing a dark dress with a high neckline. Her face is pale, and she has a subtle, enigmatic expression. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought.
