Zélie Courbet is a 1847 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a dark dress with a white ruffled collar and cuffs. Her right hand rests on her cheek, and her gaze is directed to the left. The background of the painting is a dark, muted color. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal or elegant setting, possibly from the 19th century. The artist's use of dark colors and subtle lighting creates a somber and introspective mood. For more information on the artist behind this portrait, look up Gustave Courbet.
