More about this artwork

On our gallery's website, we are proud to feature the striking oil painting titled "Portrait of a Woman, Juliette Courbet" created by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet in 1860. This compelling artwork offers a profound glimpse into Courbet’s mastery of realism and his skill in portrait painting.The painting captures Juliette Courbet, the artist's beloved sister, in a poised and reflective demeanor. She is depicted wearing a dark, fitted dress that contrasts sharply with her vividly painted orange cuffs, which add a burst of color to the otherwise muted palette. A small, coral-colored bow at her neck further enhances the subtle interplay of colors.Juliette's expression is serene yet penetrating, her gaze directly engaging the viewer. This directness, coupled with the soft modeling of her features, creates a sense of intimacy that is both arresting and dignified. The background is deliberately vague, a typical characteristic of Courbet's portraits, focusing all attention on the subject herself.This portrait not only exemplifies Courbet’s commitment to portraying the truth and reality of human existence but also showcases his ability to convey the inner life of his subjects through texture, color, and composition. "Portrait of a Woman, Juliette Courbet" remains a testament to the emotional depth and technical precision that defines Courbet’s best works.

Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet (10 June 1819 – 31 December 1877) was a French painter who led the Realism movement in 19th-century French painting. Committed to painting only what he could see, he rejected academic convention and the Romanticism of the previous generation of visual artists. His independence set an example that was important to later artists, such as the Impressionists and the Cubists. Courbet occupies an important place in 19th-century French painting as an innovator and as an artist willing to make bold social statements through his work.
