Madame Alexandre Kohler

Französische Malerei 1881–1890, 1887/1888

This painting shows a woman from the chest up, with her head slightly turned to the right. She has fair skin, red lips, and brown hair in an updo. She wears a gray-blue dress with black buttons and holds a white object in her right hand, perhaps a handkerchief. The background is red, with a white panel on the left behind her head with a green arch featuring floral pattern, and a decorative object on the right that looks like a wooden stump on a box or shelf.
