Lauretta is a 1894 oil by Jules Lefebvre, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
The painting depicts a woman with long, flowing hair and a white headband, holding a golden laurel branch. She is dressed in a dark-colored top with a white collar, and her gaze is directed to the left. The background of the painting is a deep red color. The woman's hair is a striking feature of the painting, with its golden tones complementing the laurel branch she holds. The use of red in the background adds a sense of drama and intensity to the overall image. For more information on the artist behind this work, explore the art of Jules Lefebvre.
