Portrait of Madame Valentine Fray is a 1901 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress with a pink bow on her shoulder. She is holding a fan in her right hand and is turned slightly to the left. The background is a mottled brown color. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she is wearing a pearl necklace. Her expression is serene, and her eyes are cast downward. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet elegance.
