Paul CA zanne Portrait Woman Portrait de femme
Paul Cezanne: Portrait of a Woman (Portrait de femme), Paul Cezanne, c. 1898, Oil on canvas, Cezanne painted many portraits of working-class people in Provence, his native region in the south of France. Here he depicts a solemn older woman clutching a book, rendering her with a monumentality and dignity that conveys his respect for rural Provencal types. Cezanne sets off the remarkably vivid red-striped dress with patches of green and blue on the wall. Also, notice how he rhymes the roundness and solidity of her form with that of the cauldron on the floor behind her, suggesting a parallel between the functional object and the steadfast presence of this plain woman. Overall: 36 3/4 x 28 7/8 in. (93.3 x 73.3 cm)

In this oil on canvas artwork, Cezanne focuses on portraying the working-class people of Provence, his beloved homeland in the south of France. The subject of this portrait is an older woman who emanates solemnity and grace as she clutches a book tightly. Through his meticulous brushstrokes, Cezanne bestows upon her a sense of monumentality and dignity that reflects his deep respect for rural Provençal individuals. The artist skillfully contrasts the vibrant red-striped dress worn by the woman with patches of green and blue adorning the wall behind her.
