Beauté is a 1849 by Narcisse Virgilio Díaz, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting, titled "Beauté," depicts a woman in a flowing dress, her right arm outstretched and her left hand resting on her stomach. She stands in a lush, wooded area, with trees and foliage surrounding her. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The woman's dress is rendered in soft, flowing folds, and her face is serene and contemplative. The overall effect is one of quiet beauty and tranquility.
