Description
Young Lady in 1866 presents a standing woman in a luminous pink dressing gown, her blue hair ribbon and dark neckband setting off her pale face. Édouard Manet places her against a deep, quiet background, with a gray parrot on a tall perch beside her.
The broad fall of the gown gives the figure a stately presence, while the small flowers in her raised hand and the fruit below introduce intimate, everyday details. Subtle shifts of pink, cream and gray bring richness to a composition that is both spare and quietly theatrical.
