Chloe is a 1806 oil by Hans Jakob Oeri, a Biedermeier work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a serene scene of two figures in a natural setting. A woman, dressed in a green tunic and white skirt, stands on the right side of the image, while a man, wearing a yellow toga, sits on the left. The woman is gently placing a wreath of flowers on the man's head. In the background, a tranquil landscape unfolds, featuring trees, hills, and a body of water. The sky above is a soft blue, with clouds scattered throughout. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of peace and tranquility. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.
