The artwork titled “Angelina” was created by Edouard Manet in 1865 in Paris, France, utilizing oil on canvas as its medium. This portrait, aligned with the Realism art movement, measures 92 by 72 centimeters and is presently housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted with a fan held close to her chest. The background is relatively dark, enhancing the visual prominence of the subject who wears a brownish garment contrasting against the subdued backdrop. Her gaze is directed forward, capturing a serene yet contemplative expression. The lighting accentuates the subject’s facial features and the texture of the fan, adding depth and a lifelike quality consistent with the Realist movement. The detailed representation exemplifies Manet’s mastery in portraying human presence and emotion.
