Berenice is a 1893 oil by Henri-Jean Guillaume Martin, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting depicts a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, adorned with a pink flower behind her ear. Her skin is pale, and she wears a dark-colored dress with a pink sash across her chest. The woman's gaze is directed straight ahead, and her expression is neutral. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, you might want to look up Henri-Jean Guillaume Martin.
