Portrait of the Novelist Colette is a 1905 oil by Jacques-Émile Blanche, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a woman in a white dress, sitting on a couch. She has dark hair and is wearing a pink bow in her hair. Her dress is off the shoulder, and she is holding it up with her left hand. The woman is looking down, and her face is blurred. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication.
